Dynamic Rank for Export Tables

I'm not sure where to start. I have a report published on the service where users export accounting data into excel. However, they hit the 150,000 row max very quickly and it takes them some time to change the date filter or categories or even a combination of the two to get under the 150 K limit and then repeat the process for millions of records. My idea is to create up to 5 tables on one "Export" page where the first table contains rows 1-150,000 and table #2 contains rows 151,000-300,000 and so on. If the results are less than 150,000 all the data displays in the first table and the other 4 are emtpy. I tried a RANKX but I must have been doing it incorrectly because when I filter on it the values shift and I get the same rows on both tables.

Hi @sarhutson rather than creating multiple tables and complex solution you can try with Power BI Paginated report. The best part is it dose not have row limit and user can export any amount of rows in pixel perfect format.

Hi @sarhutson 
There are a frew more effective alternatives for exporting to excel than splitting the tables, like
