What could be the reason the export underlying data option is disabled? I have exhausted all options, checked the report setting for allow user to export underlying data etc. Even imported just one simple table with three columns - to no avail. The same workspace allows export of underlying data from other reports.
I have Tried Below options:
1) In the Power BI Service Admin portal->Tenant settings, make sure that the "Export data" option in the "Export and sharing settings" section is enabled
2)Enabled Export Option in Report Setting option.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @basirve ,
Please select Allow end users to export both summarized and underlying data from the service option from the Power BI desktop.
In the Service:
Export using Underlying data won't work if:
the version is older than 2016.
the tables in the model don't have a unique key.
an administrator or report designer has disabled this feature.
Export using Underlying data won't work if you enable the Show items with no data option for the visualization Power BI is exporting.
Please refer to the doc:
Export data from a Power BI visualization - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
Hope that's what you were looking for.
