Export Data to CSV/Excel get different result

Hi,

 

I export the data from visual using these two methods, but get different results:

Left is exported to CSV, right is exported to Excel:

Exported to Excel is the right result, as the sum of column B should be  100% (CSV result to 100.1%)

 

I expeted whether user select exported to CSV or Excel , the result should be same.

Hi @max_song_GX The issue might CSV exports raw data from the model, while Excel exports formatted, aggregated data, causing discrepancies like incorrect column sums.

You could try pre-aggregating or rounding values in the Power BI data model or applying consistent formatting within the visual to ensure the data exported to both CSV and Excel matches accurately.
