Hi all,

Update:
This is a new issue and the Product Group is working to get this fixed.

Workaround:

There is an option to roll back the desktop version to mitigate this issue, or use the Export Data on PBI Service to process the data.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, this is a known issue. 
The deployment of the fix has begun and has been completed in some areas.
Please try again and let me know if you have any issues.

"Data exceed the limit" error when exporting less than the limit

You mentioned exporting as Excel as an issue.  Is the issue you are having exporting a Power BI Desktop Visual to a .CSV (visuals export as .CSV not .XLSX)?  This is a known Issue 498 and is still ACTIVE.

This is a known issue and is Tagged as ACTIVE.

 

Issue ID:  498

Date:  September 7, 2023

Title:  Export to CSV file truncated at 300 rows

Description: When you select Export data on a tabular visual's options menu and choose to export to a CSV file, the resulting downloaded file is truncated to 300 rows, rather than showing all the available rows.

Status:  Active

Reference URL:  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/troubleshoot/known-issues/known-issue-498-export-csv-file...

 

Additional workaround:  Use DAX Studio to export data from selected Visual to CSV or Excel.

how to use the dax studio?

Don't you have a simpler process? As I'm gonna do this daily.

Until Issue 498 is resolved, the option that Microsoft has recommended, as well as using DAX Studio as an External Tool are workable options.   Try it out, this is very quick and painless.    If you are exporting the same visuals day after day, save the query from DAX Studio and run the export as necessary.
