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.

So, what I am trying to do for a project is create data visualizations in Power BI from Microsoft SharePoint. I used Microsoft Power Automate to create flow which has worked successfully. However, it won't let me load or transform the data that I need to succeed for the project. Also, in the Power Bi workbook it usually shows 3 icons. 1 for Reports, 1 for Table relationships and one for data. the one foe data is missing. But I can see columns and do basic visualizations. But I need to clean the data. How can I transform the data that is real live data?
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.
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 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?
I have a sharepoint list. I want to do analysis of the data in this list.
Can Power BI of Office365 be used for this ? How can this be done.
Are there any other way to do this ?
Thanks

Since Power BI works with Excel, I would imagine exporting the list to Excel will work just fine for you (keeping in mind that you refresh the data connection in Excel as needed).
