Import Matrix from PBI to Excel

Greeting lovely members . 

 

im trying to import a matrix from Power BI to Excel for my client . The problem when im trying import the matrix using the import function that exist in Power BI , it transforms the matrix into a table 

 

here an exemple :

 That's the matrix on my Power BI .

here what the import function generates . as u can see it transforms my matrix into a table . 

 

is there a way to import the exact matrix using another third party without passing by the pivot function . 

 

Thanks all in advance .

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You export a visual or report to PDF if you want the formatting to be kept.  But if you want to export visual to  CSV or Excel, it would be flattened.

 

I suggest you create an idea for it  in https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas to improve the power bi.

You could publish the Power BI model then connect to excel:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-connect-excel

 

Then you can build pivot tables. Be aware you will have to transform everything in the values section to measures, as you can only use measures in the values of a pivot table.

 

Here's a way you can do that using Tabular Editor:
