Hi @Schigia
Possible Causes & Solutions:
1. Export Restrictions on Visuals
Some visuals have export limitations based on their structure:
- If a table contains too many rows (150,000+ for CSV export in Power BI Desktop), it might fail.
- If you're trying to export data from a Matrix, Power BI may restrict detailed-level exports.
Solution: Try exporting from a simpler Table visual instead of a Matrix or other complex visuals.
2. Row-Level Security (RLS) or Permissions Issue
If your report has Row-Level Security (RLS) or specific permissions, you may not be allowed to export certain data.
Solution: Check your data source permissions or try exporting with a user that has full access.
3. Data Export is Disabled in Power BI Settings
Power BI Desktop might have export restrictions enabled.
Solution:
- Go to File → Options and Settings → Options
- Under Current File → Report settings, check if "Export Data" is enabled.
4. Corrupted Visual or File
If a specific table or sheet is causing the issue, the file might have a corruption.
Solution:
- Try duplicating the table visual and export again.
- Create a new report and connect to the same data source.
- Export the data from the new report.
5. Power BI Version Issue
A Power BI update might have introduced a bug.
Solution:
- Update Power BI Desktop to the latest version from the Microsoft Store or the official website.
- If the issue started after an update, try rolling back to a previous version.
6. Data Volume Too Large
If you're dealing with very large datasets, Power BI might struggle to export them.
Solution:
- Try filtering the table before exporting.
- Use DAX measures to limit the data.
7. Software Conflicts
Some background processes may interfere with Power BI’s export functionality.
Solution:
- Close unnecessary applications.
- Restart Power BI and try again.
