Enable .CSV Download for BI Publisher Reports
In addition to existing output options in BI Publisher reports (for example, PDF or RTF) we’ve added the .CSV format as a downloadable option for all out-of-the-box delivered BIP reports.
After opening a report, simply choose CSV as an option in View Report:
Report Options Drop Down
You can also use Export CSV option in Actions:

Allowing to download BIP reports in .csv format eases carrying out further analysis and formatting.
