    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

I am having this same issue. It sounds like you've confirmed it will not truncate the data at least up to 10,000 records, but how do we know for sure when receiving the error. We're supposed to be able to download 150,000 records. I am unsure as to whether or not I have a complete data set when using this feature.

 

Every release of Power BI seems to result in more bugs. These new bugs every month waste so much time. It's really frustrating.

You can't, unless you count the rows in your visual. As a workaround, I suggest using the October version until this gets fixed permanently,
