user tries to export data to excel using “Data with current layout” and query exceeds 150.000 row li

Issue: With matrix visual export to excel due to the 150,000 rows limit the whole data is not exporting and user will not be aware of it that the whole data is not exported in excel , user get add hoc request to make report and the exported data will mislead when they export the data.

 

 

Ask: Customer is looking for an interactive warning pop up when the export button is clicked, or to have the information about the data truncation prominently displayed at the top of the Excel file, rather than at the end

    Hi SureshMic ,
    Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community Foum.
    This happens because of the current 150,000-row export limit when using Data with current layout in Microsoft Power BI. The export still completes even when the data exceeds this limit, and since the warning only appears at the bottom of the Excel file, users can easily miss it and assume they have the full dataset. To reduce this risk, customers should use Paginated Reports built with Power BI Report Builder for large, detailed exports, as these are meant to handle higher data volumes without the same restriction. It also helps to add a clear warning inside the report itself, such as a DAX-based row count alert, so users know in advance when an export may be incomplete and can choose the correct full-data option. In the long term, a built-in pre-export warning and a more visible message in the exported file would greatly improve clarity and prevent users from unknowingly working with partial data.
