    In late 2016, Power BI improved our export data options to allow exporting up to 150,000 rows to Excel from a visual on a Power BI dashboard for Pro users. If you require higher limits, please vote on this idea. If you have more specific requirements, please leave them in the comments.

    RE: Increase Export Data Limits

    Need ability to export more rows of data. This is a basic need of many of our users and if a limitation like this exists, they will move to another tool.

    RE: Increase Export Data Limits

    Really need to export more then 150,000 rows because we need to be able to share outcome of analysis with people that do not use PowerBI. Major issue.

    RE: Increase Export Data Limits

    Please remove this limitation, in alignment with SSRS. My managers depend on the export capability to focus on quality improvement, and need to be able to export a very large number of rows.

    RE: Increase Export Data Limits

    Please remove data export limitation. 150K lines is nothing. Or allow a .csv file, or something. Exporting 5 different files and then joining them up in my case is tiresome.

    RE: Increase Export Data Limits

    At the bare minimum let the PowerBI Admin role assign the limit online. Otherwise definitely remove the limit from PBI Desktop.

    RE: Increase Export Data Limits

    Finding it incredibly frustrating to constantly receive the "Your data is too large" error when trying to export. This really needs to be fixed, I cannot understand why Power BI desktop is unable to handle a simple export request.

    It would be great if you can remove limits on exporting data.
