exporting data - limitations

Hi, 

 

I have a power bi data model, and the client wants to store snapshots of it and compare them for quality checks.

The issue is that he needs an extract from a table visual containing many attributes and a few measures. The size is way too big so it exceeds the number of rows we can download. I am wondering if there is any way to create a table for him outside of Power BI somehow with the required data. But how can I add the measures to that outside o PBI... (for example if I have total sales measure which is calculated in power bi)

Very strange request, I know...

thank you for sharing your thoughts
