Salesforce Reporting row number Limitations
Hi Their is a known issue where PowerBI can only pull the first 2000 rows from a Salesforce report. Is this issue being resolved? Is PowerBI working with SalesForce to remedy this?
Anonymous,
The 2000 row limit is from Salesforce Report API but not from Power BI. You can contact Salesforce support about this row limit as this is fully in their control.
As a workaround for the above issue, you can use Salesforce Object connector in Power BI Desktop to pull all the rows from individual tables and recreate reports you’d like. The Object connector doesn’t have the 2000 row limit.

You can work around this limitation using third-party tools. Here is the approach that I would recommend: https://vidi-corp.com/connect-salesforce-reports-to-power-bi/
This approach essentially extracts data from Salesforce reports in chunks of 2000 rows each and then appends them together. As a result you get all the columns you need in a single table.
