Export Excel info last modified and created dates always show 7/6/2016

Hello,

 

When I export to xlsx from a data table, The Info Related Dates always show 7/6/2016.  I have asked other users to export from my report and different reports.  They see the same 7/6/016 on all instances.  Has anyone else observe this behavior and can it be changed?

 

Always 7/6/2016Always 7/6/2016

Hi there

I can only assume it is something that is created from the Power BI Service.

I would not worry about that as long as the data is up to date?

Hello,

Thanks for responding.  That is the problem.  I produced that .xlsx export show in the screen shot on 19 May 2020.  The meta data on the spreadsheet produced shows 7/6/2016.  We use the SaaS Power BI Service on Microsoft's servers.  We are in a regulated industry and that date discrepancy would produce a finding.  I would expect the 7/6/2020 date to reflect when the export was produced, 5/19/2020 in my case.

Hi @dhoang ,

 

If you have Pro account you could try to open a support ticket. If you have a Pro account it is free. Go to https://support.powerbi.com. Scroll down and click "CREATE SUPPORT TICKET".

Hello,

I submitted a trouble ticket on 5/19/2020.  I will update this post whether or not a solution is found.  Just out of curiousity has anyone tried replicating the problem?  Export a .xlsx file from a PBI report and then look at the File > Info > Related dates section in Excel.  Thank you!

Hi there

I would suggest logging a support ticket with Microsoft so that they can look into this for you?
