Hello guys,
I'm connecting Excel to reports (or dataset) of Power BI Services. I can retrieve the data but I still have to "recreate" all the filters I had in Power BI Services (visual filter, report filter or page filter).
Is there a way to keep those filters applied in the report in Excel? that way the business will be able to have the exact same view of PBI when they Analyze in Excel.
Thanks a lot.

I would like to transform matrix data from power bi to excel without changing formate or layout .is there any way that I cant transform power to excel without changing layout....?
I am looking forward to your answers
There is no way to directly export Power BI to Excel.
The closet you can do is to use the Analyse in Excel Plugin to connect to the data model and recreate the visuals in Excel with the normal limitations of Excel visuals and slicers. You other option is to recreate the Power BI Power Query and Power Pivot models in Excel, rather than do one part of it in Power BI, then the other in Excel.
I am trying to create a solutions process and the end-users are comfortable in Excel. Is there a way to export the tables in power bi into excel for use? I have DAX add-in if there is a way to do so with that.
I have everything able to process as needed in Power BI, and was thinking if a connection could be created to the table then it may be able to bypass the row limit and data limit for excel??
Like can each table be loaded as a connection in power query? That would definitely be helpful
Please help
The feature you are seeking is Analyze in Excel.
This built-in solution allows you to connect an Excel to the same data source as Power BI. Then, you can create your visualization in Excel.
I am new to Power BI world.
In my company we have a connection to an OLAP cube, where we connect using a live query through Analysis Services.
As the Power BI documentation says, on May 2nd, 2017 they added a feature to use report level measures but this approach does not work on multidimensional databases (yet).
I need to replicate some Excel workbooks (where they use DAX functions) in order to use all the Power BI features where Excel has no power.
Since I can't edit the queries, the relationships or create any kind of measures for this. How should I use a different approach to do these calculations that the Excel workbooks do?
Is there any way to connect Excel to Power BI Desktop and importing the Data Model to Power Pivot?
With Power BI Publisher for Excel it is possible to connect Excel to Power BI Service and get a live connection, but the data is contained within a Pivot Table. I need to maintain a specific spreadsheet-like layout and it is complicated to create formulas linking to a Pivot Table.
Thanks for helping!
Unfortunately you can't.
The way to achieve your objective is to import your "raw" Excel data from which you created your pivot table in Excel, and then "re-create" artificially your pivot table in power bi desktop thanks to the query editor and the data model manipulation capabilities.
Is there a way to get a Microsoft Power BI Designer data model into Excel to work with in Powerpivot?
From my understanding, Power BI Designer files are not compatible with Excel.
Please see the following link:http://blogs.technet.com/b/powerbisupport/archive/2014/12/19/power-bi-designer-preview.aspx
We also cannot cross between Excel and the Power BI Designer. For
example, if we have a Data Model in Excel, I can't use that and create
reports within the Power BI Designer. Also, if I have a Data Model in
Power BI Designer, I can point Excel to use that. You have to pick one
or the other.
This is not possible. Suggest that you post a suggestion at support.PowerBI.com.
Currently it is not possible, but they are exploring a few options. You can vote there, if you think that is your need. These do not talk about using the data from PowerBI Designer files to Excel, but at least you can export/import charts.

As pointed out earlier by #PowerDAX you need to pick one or the other. Besides this, all data sources that you have for Power BI Designer are also available for Excel.
