Hey,
I have an issue with extracting underlying data, it was enabled before, but now it only gives me the option to export the summarized data and not the underlying one. I researched a lot and everything seems fine to me in my settings. please help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @salafoo
You need to enable build permissions on the dataset for the users who need to extract the underlying data.
For more limitations, please refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/power-bi-visualization-export-data

Hey Guys,
Appreciate your support as I am struggling with preparing my reports.
thanks
Hi @salafoo,
I assume you already had a look at the Power BI Tenant settings for Export Data and Export to Excel?
Also have a look at the limitations and considerations:
Export using Underlying data won't work if:
the version is older than 2016.
the tables in the model don't have a unique key.
an administrator or report designer has disabled this feature.
Share feedback directly with Fabric product managers, participate in targeted research studies and influence the Fabric roadmap.
