Hi,

 

Is there a timeline for resolving this issue as we have a number of reports which have significant number of lines which we would require to be able to export to excel and currently we are unable to do so.

 

Thanks for flagging that this is a known issue.

I just found another workaround.

You can upload the report online and you can export the data from P.Bi online, with this method io could download all the rows.


Thanks

    Yes, the Service can do this.

      Hi,

       

      Is this by publishing to powerbi.com and in particular My Workspace.

        Yes,  this implies the Power BI Service and can be the My Workspace if 

        that is where you choose to store the dataset and report.

         

        Export rules have not changed.   If you need to export above the export ceiling 

        designed into Power BI Desktop Designer or the Service, a traditionally accepted

        and endorsed method is to use DAX Studio which is painless, and to my knowledge

        99 44/100 % reliable without fussing around export limits.
