exporting underlying data to excel resulted multiple lines

[RMV]

Hi,

I have a table report which is built from 2 tables. These 2 tables have a one-to-many relationship.

When I exported the underlying data from this table to excel, it resulted multiple lines for 1 row. While the visual table shows the correct information from the combined tables.

What I have:

Table #1

Item No	Location
1	Location A
2	Location B
3	Location A
4	Location C
5	Location C
6	Location A
7	Location D

Table #2

Location	Status
Location A	Open
Location B	Expired
Location C	Expired in 2018
Location D	Open

Table 1 & Table 2 relationship is set by the Location.

The underlying data exported is a follow

Item No	Location	Status
1	Location A	Open
1	Location A	Expired
1	Location A	Expired in 2018
2	Location B	Open
2	Location B	Expired
2	Location B	Expired in 2018
3	Location A	Open
3	Location A	Expired
3	Location A	Expired in 2018
4	Location C	Open
4	Location C	Expired
4	Location C	Expired in 2018
5	Location C	Open
5	Location C	Expired
5	Location C	Expired in 2018
6	Location A	Open
6	Location A	Expired
6	Location A	Expired in 2018
7	Location D	Open
7	Location D	Expired
7	Location D	Expired in 2018

Is there any thing I missed out that caused this data multiple exported?

@RMV,

Could you please post a screenshot about how you create the table report? I am not able to reproduce your issue.

Hi @v-yuezhe-msft,

Not sure I can attach a picture. Hope this works

Hi @v-yuezhe-msft,

Here's the screenshot

1. Table #1: engine status

2. Table #2: contract

3. Relationship between engine status & contract (many-to-one)

@RMV,

Would you mind sharing the data of tables in your PBIX file? I make a test using the sample data you post but can't reproduce your issue. Are you able to get same issue when using the sample data? And do you use the "Export data" option in Power BI Desktop or Power BI Service?

Regards,
Lydia

Hi @v-yuezhe-msft,

I'm sorry, I cannot provide the data due to my company's policy.

I tried to create dummy data to reproduce the error using it. But, I cannot reproduce the error as well.

I cannot find the pattern that might caused the error either.

In the actual data, the location that is available in Table #1 may not be available all in Table #2, and vice versa.

But, this condition works fine using dummy data.

Is there anything that might caused the data duplicated, that I need to look further?

Thanks
