    Hi SamTailor,

    Do you export the report from Power BI Desktop? How about publishing report to Power BI Service and exporting the report from the web service?

    I found a similar issue that export csv data file with Cyrillic chars can return wrong characters if the report was modified over the IE in the following link and the issue has been escalated. You can vote the issue and add your comment in this link.

    Thanks,
