Export Underlying Data not working on all Tables in a report

I have changed the settings in Options - > Report Settings - > To underlying data option

Underlying data export is working on all the tables in a report but not working on just one table. I have 4 tables in my one page and I am able to export underlying data from only 3 of them. Am I making any mistake?

Looking forward to it. Thanks.

Please see Limitation section, when export option will not work
Few highlight for your reference

Please check few things

  • Export using Underlying data won't work if:

    • the version is older than 2016.

    • the tables in the model don't have a unique key.

    • an administrator or report designer has disabled this feature.

    • you enable the Show items with no data option for the visualization Power BI is exporting.

  • For export from matrix visuals using Data with current layout, consider the following:

    • Matrices with columns and/or values but no rows will be exported as having rows and/or values but no columns

    • Matrices with only one row and/or values but no columns will be exported as table (no right border separator)

    • If the Switch values to rows formatting option is set to 'On' in Power BI for a table or matrix visual, the visual format would not be preserved when data is exported to Excel

    • If the Row subtotals toggle is set to 'Off' in Power BI Desktop for a matrix visual, but the matrix visual has expanded and collapsed sections, exported data will contain subtotals for rows. To work around this issue, use the Expand | All command from the visual's context menu.

 

Let me know, it works or not
