Are you using any aggregations in the matrix?

If yes,when you export, you have 2 options to choose, summarized data and underlying data.

You have to select underlying data to see all the records. When you sum up, you will see correct results.

Once you click the export you will see as below

If you have used measures, underlying data will be enabled. You can selelct this option to see all the underlying records.

If you are exporting the data from power bi service,make sure below setting is enabled for the report. You get this option on the settings of the report

Check for any duplicate records in the table.

You can also try creating a pivot in the excel and see if its matching with the matrix.

Please mark it as a solution if it serves your purpose.

Try exporting the data partially and see if it matches. Filter by month or any other parameters and see of teh data matches.

Hi @Mai_Nashaat

Now you are trying to export data from visualization, and you said that you will get wrong sum result with summarize data in Power BI Desktop.

In Power BI Service you followed the steps as SubinPius mentioned in his reply to export underlying data from visualization and it worked.

I think your issue can be resolved by exporting underlying data from your Matrix.

In Power BI Desktop, you'll only have the option to export summarized data as a .csv file.

So if you want to export underlying data from your visualization, you can do it in Power BI Service.

For reference: Export the data

Best Regards,
