Export a report from Power BI service to Desktop (dataset pulled through Salesforce)

[gpillai]

Hi guys, 

I'm trying to find a way to do this, however can't seem to really find a feasible solution. I have pulled data from Salesforce into PowerBi Service and I am able to see the reports, however I want to further customise and model my visuals (for example, I'd like to add toggles between different pages, something that can only be done in the Desktop version). Is there a way to export the dataset exactly the way it's modelled already (in .pbix format)? 

Many thanks!

Hi @gpillai

I’m afraid exporting  a report of a salesforce content pack from Power BI service to Desktop is not possible now, as Downloading  report as a .pbix file is not available for service content packs.

Maybe you could submit an idea here: ideas.powerbi.com

Best Regards

Many thanks, Maggie! 

It would make life much easier for people who edit in Service and would like to export to Desktop - it's such a simple thing, but I can't think of a reason why it's not being implemented. I voted on an existing idea requesting the same functionality. 

Thank you!
