Export to excel - name of the file

[Shalin]

Hi, 

A number of our reports that we have need to be downloaded by our users rather than being viewed on screen. When you click export to excel the file name is always just "data."

Is it possible to have the name of the file match what the title of the report is or something else, rather than just data?

Or is there a better way to manage these kinds of reports? Running D365, and have to use BI in order to pull data from multiple areas. Currently they are just hosted on a dashboard, and then exported when needed 

Thanks!

Hi,

Has this changed recently? I've had a user come back to me with an issue where they've tried to export data from the visual, and rather than just calling it data, it's exported the visual title as the file name - then because the title's quite long, Windows has truncated the file name and it then can't be found when trying to open it from the downloads tab at the bottom of Chrome?

hi, @Shalin

After my research, I'm afraid it couldn't achieve in Power BI for now. You could export to excel and then rename the excel file.

For your requirement, you could post your new idea in Power BI ideas and make this feature coming sooner .
