Question 1

How do I export a Power BI table to Excel?

Accepted Answer

Install BI Table Exporter from the Chrome Web Store, navigate to any Power BI report, click the extension icon, select Excel format, and download your table instantly. No setup required — it works on app.powerbi.com, embedded reports, and Power BI Report Server.

Question 2

What is the row limit for Power BI export?

Accepted Answer

Power BI's native export limits you to 30,000 rows for CSV and 150,000 rows for Excel. BI Table Exporter allows up to 500 rows for free and unlimited rows with the Pro plan. There are no hidden limits — export tables of any size.

Question 3

Can I export from embedded Power BI reports?

Accepted Answer

Yes. BI Table Exporter works with Power BI Service, Power BI Embedded, and Power BI Report Server — including reports inside iframes and cross-domain embeds. If the report is visible in your browser, the extension can detect and export its tables.

Question 4

Is my data safe when using BI Table Exporter?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All processing is 100% local in your browser. No data is sent to external servers, no personal information is collected, and no tracking is used. Your Power BI data never leaves your device — not even for license validation.

Question 5

Does BI Table Exporter work with Power BI matrices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The extension detects both Power BI tables and matrix visuals. Matrix data is flattened automatically during export to maintain row-column relationships in Excel, CSV, JSON, HTML, and PDF formats.
