Hi all, I am exporting my data through power automate and using create CSV table. However, it seems limited to 1000 rows. I have around 100K rows which I want to export. Is there a way to increase this? Thank you in advance.

This seems to work for me. Pretty annoying and shouldnt be needed but that's the world we live in.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

The maximum number of rows that Power BI Desktop and Power BI service can export from an import mode report to a .csv file is 30,000.

 

You must have meet some limitation in power automate. I suggest you open a thread on power automate forum.

 

If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

Hey @Anonymous ,

 

help me to understand your problem better.

You are exporting your data from a CSV with Power Automate? And in Power Automate the first 1000 rows are getting exported instead of 100K rows. Is that right?

 

Best regards

Hi Denis,

 

Yes. So basically I have dataset in Power BI and I am using Power Automate to compose and create a CSV table from those datasets. And then creating a CSV file in Sharepoint. But the export is always limited to 1000 rows.

Were you ever able to figure out a way to get past the 1000 row limit for the export?

 

The limiter is the Compose operation, to expand the row limit beyond 1000, you'll need instead to run a query against your dataset as your source when creating the CSV table.

Do you have an example of how to do this?
