PowerBI Report builder - CSV with No header or customized header including space

PowerBI Report builder - CSV with No header or customized header including space "Project Name"

 

Have created the rdl report and issue not able to download big size excel file which is having 1 million rows. But able to download via CSV thru onedrive option. But column name is coming from actual table column name with _ for example Project_Name instead of "Project Name"

Need solutions for the same.

1) How to run the csv report without header (So that I can add one data row as header column) to solve the header issue)

2) If header is possible means How to include the header with spaces on it.

Hi, @goms12 

I had a test, I create a sample table in Power BI report builder and export to CSV:

Then open the csv file with the Notepad and excel

I don't seem to see anything unusual in my tests, can you provide more information about the problem and no personal privacy

There is a nice and still valid article about removing the header here:

Rendering data in a paginated report - Microsoft Report Builder & Power BI Report Builder | Microsof...

 

In a nutshell, you need to go to the properties of the text box and work with the DataElementName setting there.

if you see your table has column name as "Ticket ID" - Note that there is space present in between words Ticket and ID. but in your output notebook screenshot header has Ticket_ID, Ticket_Desc ...I don't want to have this kind of output rather than without underscore and with space("Ticket ID").
