Hi onodera

In the case where all the setting parameters are turned on, it is necessary to consider whether there is a problem with the data itself. You can refer to some restrictions in the documentation below.

    Thank you Ailsa

     

    I've seen that link, but I'm not sure which one is the cause.
    I think the data is probably also a problem, but I still don't know what kind of data can or can't be output.

     

    Correspondence to the condition of the link destination is as follows.

     

    Export using Underlying data won't work if:

    • the version is older than 2016.
      -> Power BI Desktop Version : 2.109.844.0 64bit 2022/09
    • the tables in the model don't have a unique key.
      -> I tried setting the key column from the property in the model in Power BI Desktop
    • an administrator or report designer has disabled this feature.
      -> I don't know where the "Underlying data" setting is, but I didn't change it
    • you enable the Show items with no data option for the visualization Power BI is exporting.
      -> I haven't enabled that setting in the report's column settings in Power BI Desktop


    I did some research and found the following differences:
    All of the following are the results of uploading pbix files created with Power BI Desktop.

     

    • Excel file dataset -> 〇 Can be exported with "Underlying data"
    • ODBC data set -> × Unable to export with "Underlying data"
    • SQL Server Dataset -> × Unable to export with "Underlying Data"

    Is there anything that changes whether export is possible or not depending on the difference in the above dataset?
