Advocate VManaging and Exporting High-Volume Datasets (~1M Records) in Power BI
Advocate VA quick update the 'Analyze in Excel' option seems not to be available in Embedded reports. So earlier I had shared few options (like the DAX studio and Bravo as external studio), but in terms of end users perspective I wanted to know can we embed these tools in the portal (where the Power BI reports are embedded).
If not what are the alternatives (as per my guess the two tools : DAX studio and Bravo are helpful for a developer.
Analyze in Excel documentation
So if : v-hashadapu , Gabry , Poojara_D12 have any inputs do let me know.

Community SupportHi Sidhant , Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.
The Analyze in Excel feature is only available in the Power BI Service and not through Embedded or API scenarios. To use it, users must have both Viewer and Build permissions on the dataset and the organization's admin must enable the feature in the Power BI tenant settings. This feature supports most dataset types, including Import, DirectQuery and Composite models, though certain advanced setups like field parameters may have unpredictable results.
When working with embedded solutions or exporting datasets larger than standard limits (like over 1 million rows), the best practice is to use Microsoft Fabric. This allows data export through pipelines or notebooks, enabling files to be saved as CSV or Parquet in OneLake for easy sharing or automation. Visual-level exports should be avoided for large datasets, as they're capped at around 150,000 rows.
