PBI Desktop crashes when exporting data from table visual
Hi powerbidev123 , that would be about 14.000 rows. Do you also need the number of columns?
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.

Hi Anonymous , thank you for your reply. The table that I am exporting is about 14k rows and 41 columns.
My device (laptop) has 16GB of RAM. The memory usage of Power BI does not seem to exceed this limit with all the other programs that are running. Also, this is what SWAP memory is for right? That is enabled on my system.
HI Vinnie,
What version for power bi desktop are you worked on ? If that not a recently version, have you tried to update it to the last versions and try again with these operations?
In addition, table with too many fields may affect the performance. Have you tied to reduce the column fields in query edit and try to export again?

Hi Anonymous , thx for all the help!
I am using the very latest version from the Microsoft Store:
It happens to two of my tables, doesn't happen to the others and is not always reproduceable. When retrying a few times, it sometimes doesn't crash. Crashes most of the time though.
Since SWAP memory is there if you run out of memory, this looks like a bug in PBI Desktop?
