Error Exporting to Excel


Go to 'Apps & Features' in Windows and find the Microsoft Office entry.
Select the entry and choose Modify.
Select the Quick Repair option, then click Repair. If Excel exporting still doesn't work, also try Online Repair. 
Save any open unfinished work and restart the computer when convenient.

 

Regards,

Rachel Gomez

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please confirm that you set the export data correctly in Power BI Desktop for RS.

To set these options:

  1. Start in Power BI Desktop.

  2. From the upper left corner, select File > Options and Settings > Options.

  3. Under CURRENT FILE, select Report settings
