    Hi Anonymous,

    I got information that when using the “export underlying data” option in Power BI Service, the export file will contain columns which are used to create the visual together with all “Text” type columns. If you want to export all columns, you would need to set the rest columns to be “Text” type  or include the rest columns in your Matrix visual.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

     

    I'm also having the same problem and from my side the issue is that I'm using a calculated measure and I'm trying to find some option to solve this but still no luck :-(

Hi Anonymous,

Do you take the operation that export data in Power BI Service or in Power BI Desktop? If you export data in Power BI Service, please help to post screenshots about your scenario. Also try to create Matrix visual in Power BI Desktop and check the export result.

If you are using Power BI Desktop, would you mind sharing me the PBIX file with which I can  test?

 

Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

        Hi, When I am exporting underlying data then only 1 row i.e 'Total' row of the Matrix is getting exported but not the whole data. Can you tell me why it is happenning?

      Hi Anonymous,

      Based on your screenshot, I note that you apply filters to your Matrix visual, and it seems that all underlying data has been exported in Excel, but the data is displayed in different format as that in Matrix visual.  Would you mind sharing me the original sample file or PBIX file?

      Thanks,
      Lydia Zhang

        Hi Anonymous，


        Thanks for sharing me your original file and PBIX file. I test your PBIX file and reproduce this issue.

        I create another Matrix visual use my sample data file(Financial Sample.xlsx), then export underlying data of the Matrix visual and find out that Power BI Service only exports some columns. I don't figure out how it chooses columns to export, I will report this issue internally and post back once I get any updates.

        Thanks,
        Lydia Zhang
