Exporting all data programically from powerBI Visual

I have to export all data from PowerBI visuals.

I managed to use a library powerbi.js (https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-JavaScript/wiki/Export-Data) and manage to implement the following solution:

report.page("ReportSection").getVisuals()

   .then(function(visuals) {

        return visuals.find(function (visual) { return visual.name === "829c5bdfe33aba301b32" });

    }).then(function(emailVisual) {

        return emailVisual.exportData(models.ExportDataType.Summarized)

    }).then(function(result) { 

        console.log(result.data.length)

    });

However, because the visual (which is a table) uses a lazy load to load all the entries, when I export the data - it only exports records, that are currently loaded into the visual.

To load more data, I need to scroll down the table and call the above code again.

Is there a solution to export all data programmatically at once?

  • When embedding Power BI reports with PowerBI Javascript API, There's an event called "dataSelected". It can capture the selected data. eg, when clicking on a histogram, the selected data gets captured.

  • Whenever we click on a table visual, there no such event triggered. A working solution is using a column chart that shows the same data in your table visual

  • This  PowerBI Javascript API can be applied to embed reports from both Power BI Service and Power BI Embedded.

report.on('dataSelected', function(event)
