Hi @Seemaa ,

The exported data won't preserve the formatting in Excel when export the data of matrix visual. Please find the details in the following official documentation:

Export the data that was used to create a visualization

You can use some of the following methods as a workaround:

1. Use the exported data to create a PowerPivot table in the excel file to recreate the matrix visual in Power BI

2. Export reports to PDF from Power BI Desktop

3Integrating Power BI Tiles into Office documents

In Power BI Service:

4. Copy a visual as an image to your clipboard
