Export data (to Excel) function not working since newest version

I've never had issues exporting tables of data to Excel. Since the newest version of PowerBI, I am unable to export data if there are more than about 100 rows. Normally when I click on Export Data, the "Save As" box pops up. The last two days, PowerBI is just minimizing and nothing is popping up. Help!

Yes myself and colleagues in my organisation have had the same issue for several days. One workaround is to publish a report to the Power BI Service and then export from there but that's not a long term solution.

Hi @hgvp ,

I am using the latest version of power bi (2.140.1205.0).

When I export this table of visual objects with 365 rows, it doesn't appear to fail to export.

I can export the data in the power bi visual object completely.

Same here, the export data tool is not working properly, I know they are limits, but visuals and most of the time tables are not exporting, the msg working on it pops up and then it dissapears changing to other window and not saving anything or even lets me get into the window directory I want to save the csv file.
