Exporting Large Data Sets from Power BI

Imke Feldmann shows how you can export data in an amount which exceeds Power BI’s native limitations:

Although the method is fairly simple, there are simpler methods if you just need the raw data from your data model (and not the specific aggregations or measures that the visual contains):

– Use DAX Studio to download all tables from your data model at once
– Use DAX Studio to download specific tables from your data model (one by one)
– Or use R or Python to download specific tables if you’re comfortable with these languages. This method also allows scheduled refreshes in the service.

In short, this is probably a fifth-best solution, but it does work.
