Export Power BI report template from a desktop report using powershell

[Meghmala]

I would like to know how to export Power BI template from a Power BI desktop report using power shell?

or perform this action using a C# application

I found this link on th web. But it seems like it is only for exporting reports .

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoftpowerbimgmt.reports/export-powerbireport... 

Even using this give me the following error-

New-PowerBIReport : The term 'New-PowerBIReport' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script fil

operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and

again.

At line:1 char:1

+ New-PowerBIReport -Path 'C:\abc\pqr\Lending  ...

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (New-PowerBIReport:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Could anybody please steer me in the correct direction?

HI @Meghmala ,

As document mentioned, this script require objectid to export specific contents. I think you need to use report id to instead.

Spoiler

Parameters

-Id

ID of the report to export.

Type:	Guid
Aliases:	ReportId
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-OutFile

Output file to save the exported report to. Path must not already exist.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-WorkspaceId

ID of the workspace containing the Power BI report to export.

Type:	Guid
Aliases:	GroupId

Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

In addition, did this report create on power bi service? Current export not works on online report.
