Export data doesn't work with PBI RS March2018 (on-prem)

mmala4681 — Wed, 21 Mar 2018 20:08:39 GMT

I've upgraded our test environment with the latest release of PBI RS (March2018). All our reports appear to load, and mostly function as expected. However, clicking on "Export Data" from any visualization on any report does absolutely nothing.

Here's what i've done to troubleshoot so far....

1. Confirmed that production (still Oct2017 version) still exports correctly, which it does

2. Rebooted server and my pc

3. Cleared my browser cache

4. Deployed a brand new report to PBI RS with the new PBI Desktop RS... still nothing.

Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions?

Re-deploy all our reports using the new PBI Desktop for RS?

I'm really hoping this is something dumb on my end and not a bug that MS missed, or worse.... a new "feature".

Thanks!

Same issue for me too. I've posted this on the issues forum:

http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/Bug-in-March-2018-PBIRS-Releas-Export-Data-not-working/idi-p/381593

Also noted it on the March 2018 Update release page:

https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-report-server-update-march-2018/

I would like to see a patch release asap to restore this functionality.

Maybe they need to think about an Insiders program. A select group of people to test a version before final production release. This was suppose to be a production ready version and while bugs happen they take time to update. People on here seem to be good at finding bugs due to the way we use the reports.

Agreed. Especially with the releases being so far apart. We've been holding off on deploying new reports, hoping to include the new features, but for now we're still stuck in October..

I really hope they release a fix before July.. Frustrating.

Same here, we upgraded to the new release and the export data doesnt seem to do anything.

Same here....

We are mainly using the live connection to the cube and it's not working.

We're facing the same issue on three different installations. Hopefully Microsoft finds a solution

We have a fix and we're working to get an updated build out early next week.

A fix for this bug is great news. Please don't forget about the other bugs found in the March 2018 release too. URL Parameters not working is a serious issue in this release too (Community Issues Forum Link).

By the way what are the official channels for getting the PBIRS updates?

I keep on checking timestamps on

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56722

and generally

Have you received any update regarding this export data issue. I have posted the same yesterday still I haven't received any fix for this.

Hi @RavinderSunkara, you can also track and post comment on this issue here at the Community Issues Forum. Microsft say they are working on "getting a fix ready".

Thanks,

Jason

Hi mgmeyer,

Do you have an update on this fix? Or is the rollback scenario supported to the october 2017 version?

Any news on releasing the fix? We've been running the March release in production and we have users with the "cannot export" problem. We've been running long enough in production that a roll-back to the October release will be a nightmare.
