Export to .xlsx not available

[mgsh]

Hi everyone,

I used to export some data from a Power BI report into Excel using the option Export data --> .xlsx (Excel 150,000), but from this week, I can't see that option and I can only choose export to .csv

Can anyone help me with this issue?

Thank you.

Hi, @mgsh 

The maximum number of rows that Power BI Desktop and Power BI service can export from an import mode report to a .csv file is 30,000. While the maximum number of rows that the applications can export from an import mode report to an .xlsx file is 150,000. Power BI admins can disable the export of data, please check with the admins.

There are also some other considerations and limitations for the feature. For further infomation, please refer the following official document.

Hi @mgsh 

The ability to export to xlsx can also be managed through the Report Settings.  If you have permissions tothe report, select Settings and make sure Export is not set to "none".

Also, make sure that your Tenant admin didn't turn that setting off in Power BI Service (tenant settings -> Export to Excel
