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?

    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.

Hi everyone,

 

For anyone landing here from search in 2026: adding one more option to the workarounds already mentioned in the thread.

 

A different category is Metrica Power BI Connector for Salesforce - it's an AppExchange app installed inside your Salesforce org rather than running through external middleware. Same outcome (pulls Salesforce Reports without the 2,000-row cap), but the data path stays within Salesforce-to-Power-BI directly, no external SaaS in between.

 

Free 30-day trial if you'd like to test it. Setup guides at https://metricasoftware.com/, demo available on request.

 

Cheers,

Metrica Team.
