Why the number of exported rows is greater in Export History than the actual number?

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:

  1. The app receives a request from Power BI or another relevant platform.

  2. The app sends the request, processes it, and to avoid any delays that may happen on the Power BI side, waits for 5 minutes.

  3. If no new requests are received within this timeframe, the app considers the session complete.

  4. If a new request is received, the session continues.
