    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

Hello,

 

still get the same issue with version of april 2019 .... the data are troncated at 30000 rows for csv files from the desktop .... i don't understand what is the idea behind limiting the file size but it's clearly painful

 

i've heard that i should be able to export to XLSX from the sevice (up to 150000 row) but i couldn't find the option

Can you help me?

 

thanks

LY18 , you can't access Excel option from Power BI dev app. You can see it only from the published report. So save, publish, go to report url, then the export pop up will ask which format.
