How do you export data from a Power BI visual?

To export data from a Power BI visual, the correct method involves using the ellipsis (three dots) that is typically located on the top right corner of the visual. This function gives users the option to choose "Export data," allowing them to extract the underlying data displayed in that specific visual. This feature is particularly convenient as it provides a straightforward way to get data in a usable format, such as CSV or Excel, without having to go through additional steps.

The other methods suggested, while they might seem plausible, do not accurately reflect the actual process for exporting data from a specific visual in Power BI. For instance, attempting to right-click on the visual typically does not provide an export option directly, and while the File menu has various export functionalities, those options are generally related to exporting entire reports rather than focusing on the data from a specific visual. Additionally, downloading the entire report encompasses more than just the data from one visual and may include elements like visuals, formatting, and layout which may not be what the user is seeking. Thus, using the ellipsis aligns perfectly with the intended functionality of extracting specific data from a Power BI visual.
