Also, the problem is pretty heavy, since it’s all about protecting your data. One user opened a thread on the official forum: So, since this is a great feature to work with, the user wants to disable Analyse in Excel only for external users, but not for internal ones. Power BI Service has this option but is not so apparent at first sight. For that reason, we offer you an easy and approachable method to do it on your PC.
How do I disable Analyze in Power BI Excel?
Although this method solves the problem, it disables a part of Power BI that the OP planned to use for internal users. So, the option is far too blunt for some people.
👉 Why is Analyze in Excel greyed out?
The Analyze in Excel option can be greyed out in the PowerBI apps because the Export data is disabled or the feature is not enabled by the tenant at all. You can get in contact with your tenant or organization admin to make sure the feature is enabled in PowerBi, thus solving this problem.
👉 How do I enable Excel Analyze in Power BI?
The method is quite straightforward so you only need to enable the Export data option in the PowerBi interface. To do that, go to File > Options and Settings > Options. Under the Current file, go to Report settings and click on Allow end users to export summarized data option. That’s it! You should now be able to use the Analyze in Excel functionality with no issues.
Conclusion
As we said at the beginning of this article, Analyze in Excel poses a severe problem regarding data protection. Moreover, disabling this function looks more like a workaround than a solution. For quite a few users, it is necessary to preserve Analyze in Excel for some operations. Nonetheless, the option to disable the feature is there. Now, Microsoft will only need to twitch it just a little bit. Was our method helpful? Do let us know in the comment section below!
