Hi PowerBI community,
I am having an issue that the visualisation on Power BI is different from the data that I exported. I have searched for this problem but to no avail. Does anyone knows the reason why and how do I rectify this issue?

Do you export the data from Service or desktop?
If you export from desktop,you could only export summarized data,that's why you see the differences.
Make an example as below:
If you export below visual to csv file:

All depends on whether you have exported the underlying data.

I am understanding the export function, but my visualization is less than what is exported. Why is that the case?
