Export matrix to xls and not csv

Hello

 

How can I export the underlying data of a matrix visual in xls so that I do not have the 30k limit of csv?

The save dialog box does not allow me to choose xls, only csv.

 

Thanks!

Hi,

There is no option to export a metrix as excel in Power BI Desktop. But you can export a metrix to excel in Power BI Service.

Thank you.
