Power BI will not export data

Power BI will not export data more than once during a session - any idea's ?

2 ACCEPTED SOLUTIONS

@MConnolly,

 

Try the below:

1. Check from incognito browser

2. Check after clearing cache

3. Check if this happens only for particular visualizations

4. Check if this happens only for particular reports

5. Check if this happens only for particualr workspaces

6. Check from different browsers: Sometimes Power BI Services behave awkwardly for different browsers

7. Check after deleting the report and publishing again

8. Check if this is amongst known issues: Link

 

If everything fails, create a support ticket here and get dedicated help from Microsoft.

Hi @MConnolly,

What type of web browser and version is you test? Have you tested with the same export or same export features? What the export frequency(interval) that you processed on your device?
Please share more detailed information to help us clarify and reproduce your issue.

Hi @MConnolly ,

 

I don't think there is any such restriction in power bi data export.

Try to do this in incognito mode and see if you can export more than once.

Incognito has the same issue.

Was working fine then maybe a week ago the problem of not being able to Export Data more than once occured.
