I am developing a system in Asp.net MVC 5. The system reports are in Microsoft Power BI. The user needs to export the report to an Excel file.
Does anybody know how to apply or develop a button or a Visual in Microsoft Power Bi reports to export the particular report to an Excel file when it is published?
The Export icon is available when the report is in In Power BI account / Dashboard as below.
But when the report is published and when the user views the report through MVC application, there is no way to export data to a .xlsx file or .csv file(as shown below).Export and Pin icons are missing. I need a method or any special widget which can do that work. Thank you in advance.
There are currently two options to export to Excel
Export Data
Analyze in Excel
However, neither of these will allow you to export an entire report including visuals. This is currently one of the more irritating limitations of Power BI.
There are a number of ideas on the Power BI forums that are related to this. Please add your vote and comments to the ones that are most relevant to you.

After some research, I have 2 doubts about buttons in Power BI:
Is it possible to download an Excel file that is just a template, via buttons on Power BI?
Is it possible to also have a button that allows the user to launch an Azure Datafactory pipeline through Power BI?
Thanks
This is what the Power Automate Visual has been made for. Read the docs here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/trigger-flow-powerbi-report
Do we have any opensource or any proven code which collects the App Dynamics reports from App Dynamics Servers ?
Generally the workflow for sending reports from AppDynamics is as follows:
Create a Custom Dashboard - https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO21/Custom+Dashboards
Add Widgets to your Dashboard containing the tables, charts etc that you want to see in your report - https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO21/Widgets
Now you can send a report (one-off or scheduled) by configuring a report based off the Dashboard you have created, including setting the time range of the report - https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO21/Reports
Note: There is a sample custom dashboard .json available here to get you started: https://community.appdynamics.com/t5/Knowledge-Base/Sample-Custom-Dashboard-for-Business-Transaction-Report/ta-p/21264
Note: There are already many "Standard Reports" which could make things easier depending on use case.
Note: If you instead want to export data and then analyse with your own tooling, then see the docs on Public API's available here: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO21/AppDynamics+APIs
I am using PowerBI online with pro license.
Using PowerBIClient object in .Net core 2.1 I am able to ExportReport function which is returning me Stream.
I want to convert this into an image ( any format) so I can use it further. How do I get this done? Am I thinking correct?
I'm afraid it doesn't work this way. ExportReport returns you the .pbix file, i.e. the report itself, which can be opened in Power BI Desktop. There is no easy way to convert this to an image pragmatically.
You can save this stream to a .pbix file and try to open it in Power BI Desktop. If the data is imported, or in case you have access to the data source, you will be able to visualize the report and export it to PDF, but this is manual operation. Also, you can export the report from the service directly (to PowerPoint and PDF).
You can try to automate Power BI Desktop (e.g. using this), but I wouldn't go this way for a production system.
There are also some 3rd party tools that eventually can help you (e.g. this one).
You can embed Power BI in a desktop application and try some screen capturing magic, but this isn't nice and easy solution either.
You can suggest an idea or vote for existing one in Power BI Ideas, e.g. Export to PDF via Power BI Embedded API.
UPDATE 2020: There is Export to File API now - Export report to PDF, PPTX and PNG files using Power BI REST API (Preview), Reports - Export To File, Reports - Export To File In Group.
I'm currently working on a project to implement a BI solution. I chose Pentaho
There are many tools to create:
reports (report designer)
adhoc reports (WAHQR ou PIR)
Dashboard (dashboard designer or CDE)
Analyze (analyzer or saiku)
(in big the one I'll use)
The question is, which tool is used by the final user (non technic) and which by the technician/developer?
And which of these tools create report/dashboard that can be executed repeatedly with a scheduler / just one time on demand?
thks for your help
Developer : All
User : SAIKU
Reports generated by Pentaho Report Dssigner could be excuted by scheduler. This is also able to be executed by scheduler using kitchen using Pentaho Reporting Output step.
I'm working on a project that I'm trying to export data from textboxes in asp.net website project to a powerpoint file. I writing ofcourse in C#.
The whole concept is to use the data the a user inserts to the text boxes and they are sent after clicking a OK button directly to a powerpoint file. I'm using OFFICE 2007 so I'm using powerpoint 2007 for this.
A similar concept that I'm already using in the website project is doing the same thing but exporting to a WORD format file. I bumped against this following site a software to perform this and it's called: SoftArtisans. There website is http://www.softartisans.com/ .
Now, if somebody has a clue or a tutorial how I can do this, Export to a powerpoint file I'll be very thankful.
I am also using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 to save the data in the database, so if maybe someone knows how to export the data from the textboxes from the website TO the database and then TO the powerpoint file that could help to.
Thank you very much for your help and support.
I would suggest using Office XML
