Hi @Anonymous ,

According to your describe, The error message you received indicates that the value of a cell at row 5, column 3 exceeds the maximum length for a string of 32767 characters. This error may caused by the limitations of Microsoft Excel and its file formats.

So you can review the data in your Power BI report, specifically at row 5, column 3, as mentioned in the error message. Check if the data in that cell or any other cells exceed the Excel limit of 32,767 characters.

You can refer to the official documentation for more information about the limitations of exporting to excel files.
