The capability to export raw data from Power BI is an important function for many users.

Presently, the export data limits are as follows and confirmed at the community link below.

- Power BI Service (cloud platform): 150,000 row maximum
- Power BI Report Server (on-premise platform): 30,000 row maximum

Please increase the export limit setting on Report Server to match that of Service. Better yet, increase them both to a much higher limit as requested by others in separate idea posts.

Thanks for your feedback - we are including the ability to Export to Excel from visuals with the Jan 2020 release, and this will up the export limit to the same levels as the PBI Service (150k rows).

RE: Increase the data export row limit (30,000 rows max) in Power BI Report Server

Hello,
are there any updates to this issue? We just had a PBI upgrade, and now have the 30k limit, which is causing many difficulties for us. This limit definitely needs to be removed. Thanks so much!

RE: Increase the data export row limit (30,000 rows max) in Power BI Report Server

Hello, any news about this limitation?
As can be seen, as a table option, for example, the option of number of lines per page, limiting each page to 30 thousand lines, but for data export this limit has to increase.

Hi Chris.
Are there any news about the increasing of the rows limitation? It would be better to introduce this improvement as soon as possible.
Thank you for your answer.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for an update!!
Could you please help us know if this is already being implemented in the releases done so far?
If not, when is Microsoft planning to have this feature live.

Thanks in advance!!

What is the status of increasing the limit of the export feature of Power BI Report Server on premise to export?

RE: Increase the data export row limit (30,000 rows max) in Power BI Report Server

I like this idea.

Perhaps as well (since there will likely be some limit no matter what that users can hit), prompt the user that their desired export is being truncated, when they go beyond the limit.

RE: Increase the data export row limit (30,000 rows max) in Power BI Report Server

Hi Chris, any further progress?
For geo spatial applications using custom visuals 30.000 is really limiting.

RE: Increase the data export row limit (30,000 rows max) in Power BI Report Server

Hello Chris,

this is very fine. So we are hopeful to enhance the data export in our Power BI - Reports for our users in the future.

Thanks for your efforts!
