Helper IPBI Desktop crashes when exporting data from table visual
Helper IHi 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?
Regards,

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?
HI Vinnie,
In fact, I'd like to suggest you download version power bi desktop. The store version normally update quicker than download versions and they may release some small update that cause the hot issues.
Download Microsoft Power BI Desktop from Official Microsoft Download Center

Hi Anonymous , I reverted back to the 2024 March version and it works fine now. No more issues. This definitely looks like a bug which occurs in the last few versions of PBI Desktop. How can I raise this bug with Microsoft?
