PBI Desktop crashes when exporting data from table visual

Hi all,

 

Since the last couple of weeks, we have been experiencing Power BI Desktop crashes when exporting data from table visuals. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? We are not getting any error. Power BI desktop just crashes and restarts (if lucky).

        Hi Vinnie ,

        According to the official document, if your table only 14k rows should not trigger the limitations of export features. How many columns your table included?

        Export data from a Power BI visualization - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

        In addition, have you checked the idel memory resource that the device included?
        If currently existed too many backend processing and they spend huge amount of system resource may cause not enough resource for export operation usages.

        Regards,

      Hi Vinnie and ravsaint 

      Since it's already reported by many people I'm sure it's likely they'll have it fixed by next monthly roll-out. It isn't high enough priority to upload a hotfix version just for this.

       

      There are many alternative solutions floating around that can be achieved to export the data

        but the problem is - i don't see this issue in the bucket with known issues that they are working on it ... 
        Looks like they don't have priority to this, more I will to say ... then don't have knownledge how it is problematic (exp.:  for me - i don't have privilages in my system for rollback. So... it is really a driver for looking for new tool with wide reporting tools , sources.)

        Simply: Power Bi now is the problem
