When using report level filters on the PowerBI service, then exporting to excel... we are seeing problems with the data types displaying correctly. By using the same filter, but selecting a different variable and exporting both- they will show different data types for certain columns. For example below, we are using the same methods to export (same report, browser, visualization) but a different variable selected and the yield is displaying as both a percentage and a decimal in the two exports. Has anyone else run into this issue?
Hi @Anonymous,
According to your description, I have tested it on my side. However, I was not able to reproduce this issue.
Could you share a sample pbix file which can reproduce this issue? You can upload it to OneDrive or Dropbox and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.
Regards
