Why the number of exported rows is greater in Export History than the actual number?
- Liliia Ostrovska
The Export History tab displays all data related to the export process: ID, user name, data source ID, table count, row count, and more.
As a rule, each data source export is identified with a unique ID.
Exception: If you export the same data source with an interval of less than 5 minutes, you may face the issue that the sequential exports are identified with the same initial ID, and the number of exported rows is increased.
Explained: This is expected behaviour. Here’s the explanation of why this happens:
The app receives a request from Power BI or another relevant platform.
The app sends the request, processes it, and to avoid any delays that may happen on the Power BI side, waits for 5 minutes.
If no new requests are received within this timeframe, the app considers the session complete.
If a new request is received, the session continues.
