Extract segmented data

Let's assume the following scenario:  We build PowerBI Reports and dasboard to be able to analyze and segment customers according to different metrics.

When we have drilled-down on a specific subset of customers we would like to extract this list to import in a third-party system for retargatting purposes.

How can we extract this data? We want to do that in the Online PowerBI service.

 

I know about the extract data available on the visuals, but it is limited to 30k records. 

 

I saw a possible workaround with R but still limited to 150k and probably a bit to technical for a end-user to will only use the dashboard and reports and not design them.

Any way we can extract the underlying data corresponding to all filters selected on the page and visualizations? If we cannot do it directly in PowerBI, any way to extract the correspoing DAX query so we could extract direclty from the source?

 

Thanks

You could use DAX Studio for this. Not exactly what you are after but it would work.  Once you get started with DAX studio it is a great tool.   Read my getting started article here

You could also use Analyze in Excel and then write a query as I describe in the post above

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.
