Export to Excel - UTF-8

Hi

 

Our end users are complaining that when they export data from PowerBI and open it in Excel, the text with cyrillic letters is not readable. This is due to the fact that the export is in UTF-8 and one cannot force the Excel to recognize the encoding. Therefore the workaround is - save the file in csv, open it with a text editor, save it as ANSI and then open it with Excel. 

 

This is not an issue for an IT guy, however in our case Power BI is used from non-IT C-level managers and the above steps are too complicated and annoying for them.

 

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this? I have read the Excel forums,  have tried wth different browser options - unfortunately with no success.

 

Thanks

Tsanka
