Drilldown 1000 row limit in PowerPivot or PowerBI.com Analyse in Excel

In a normal Excel pivot table when you double click on a cell you can see the build out of that number i.e. the underlying numbers/transactions making up the summary figure, which sometimes might be many thousand rows of data. However in PowerPivot or PowerBI.com Analyse in Excel the number of rows is limited to 1000 rows. Does anyone know how to override that 1000 number

It might be easier and more clear if I show you it rather than try to explain it

I personally don’t know any way around this, but can’t you just setup a report page in Power BI with the right filters so you can get all this information. Power BI is just perfect for this type of filtering and would solve this scenario.

Anyway that’s just my two cents on this one.

but here goes:

On the pivottable (you got from Analyse in Ecxel)

go to the Pivottable tools - Change Data Source - Connection Properties
