    Hey,

     

    the documentation states that there is a limit of rows that can be exportet to csv, this limit is 30000 rows.

     

    Using the target format xlsx this limit is 150k rows, the export to xlsx option is available in Power BI Service.

     

    These limits are described here:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/power-bi-visualization-export-data

     

    Please don't ask me why such a limit exists :-) I'm just the messenger

     

    Regards

    Tom

Looks like, as a workaround here -  I was able to make an RDL that utilizes the Power BI report in question (mine had 85,000+ rows).  The RDL was just a simple table replicating the entire dataset (all columns).  The Export of the RDL to Excel within Power BI Premium worked fine.  I then embedded the RDL inside the Power BI Report for ease-of-interface for the users.
