PowerBI Service Cannot Export to Excel from a visual

When clicking export data on a table in PowerBI Service I am getting an error "Power BI file couldn't be created Executing the Query for the Export Data operation resulted in an error". I've seen a few messages on the forums about similar issues but was not able to find a resolution. The table in question is well under the 150,000 row limit but I am able to export when I filter the report down to a fewer amount of rows.

 

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hi visbecks 

     

    I have seen this happen in the past when there is an issue with your underlying data, and that is why it cannot export. I would ensure that the data types and the data has no errors in it.

  • Hi, thanks for the response. I am not seeing any errors within the data. I am able to export in the desktop version of the report, not sure if that tells you anything.
