Column name changed while exporting of table into .xlsx format

Hi,

I am trying to export "summarized data" from a table in .xlsx format.
In the exported excel file, one column name is showing "Table_Name[Column_Name]" instead of the column name defined. Although, I tried to export the other tables but the columns name of those tables are same as expected.

 

Does anybody know why the column name is exporting as "Table_Name[Column_Name]" and how to fix it ?
Any suggestion on this is really appreciated.

 

Best Regards,

Ankbaner

    I have tested on my side, but not reproduce the issue.

    For example:

     

    Does that happen in other reports? If you try to republish this report?

    And if possible, could you share this sample pbix file for us have a test?

     

    Best Regards,

      Hi v-lili6-msft 

       

      Thank you for your reply. There are some sensitive data due to which I cannot share the exact PBIx file. Therefore, I tried to reproduce the issue again and test the export to excel sheet from PBI service. The exported file contains the expected column name instead of “Table_Name[Column_Name]”.

      I cannot find any solution while navigating through the proposed solutions. Exporting Data with summarized option exports flat file of excel with column names as tablename[ColumnName]. Is this by default?
