Convert a .pbix file to Excel or CSV
Need the data inside a Power BI report as a spreadsheet? PBIX Reader opens the .pbix in your browser and exports any table to XLSX or CSV, with no Power BI Desktop and no upload.
How to export a .pbix to Excel
- Open PBIX Reader and choose your .pbix file, or drag it onto the page (up to 50 MB).
- In the Tables tab, pick a table and tick the columns you want. The preview shows 20 rows at a time.
- Click “Download XLSX” or “Download CSV”. The file is built in your browser and saved to your computer.
Good to know: XLSX files are split into extra sheets above 1,048,575 rows, Excel’s limit per sheet. You get the data stored in the file as it was last saved; a report with a live connection keeps no data in the .pbix, so there is nothing to export.
Your .pbix file is read in your browser and is not sent to any server. No cookies, no third-party analytics; only an anonymous notice with no content counts opened files.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need Power BI Desktop to export?
No. PBIX Reader runs in your browser and reads the .pbix directly.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read and the export is created inside your browser; neither the file nor the export is sent to a server.
Is there a size limit?
Files up to 50 MB. Above that the page refuses the file before reading it.
Does the export include my DAX measures?
The exports contain table columns. Measures are formulas, not stored data; you can read them in the Formulas tab (see the DAX guide below).
