As a heads up, my desktop version crashes when I try using the export feature within the desktop. It prevents any saving ability so be wary of using this in the desktop.
Hopefully this saves you hours of rework.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Is this happening for every visual where you attempt to export data, or just one in particular? I tried exporting from a variety of visuals and datasets, and haven't been able to recreate. I'm on the latest version, 2.37.4464.461 64-bit (July, 2016). Are you on a different version?
@Bhartman30 by export feature I assume you mean export to PBI template?
Can you consistently repro this?

By export, I mean clicking on a visual, clicking on the 3 dots, and then using the export feature. I get the unexpected error, and then it freezes on the "working on it..." screen. It reproduces this error any time I try using the export feature.
