Open Power BI datasets in Power BI desktop?

I have imported the Azure Audit content pack into my Power BI, and I now have an Azure Audit Log dataset in my lists of datasets.

 

However, when I open Power BI desktop, I don't see any way to access that dataset.

 

Is this possible? I can't seem to find that specific pack in the "online services" when I click Get Data.

Power BI service now has option to download report is it disabled for this report which you created using content pack?

 

Quoting from the announcement:

https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-preview-of-download-power-bi-desktop-files-from-...

 

"For now, the preview feature can only download reports that originated from Power BI Desktop."

 

So I can't download it for desktop, as I first need to create it in desktop. Chicken and the egg thingy...

@idof

 

Currently, Azure Audit is not supported as the online service data source in Power BI Desktop. Please see: Data sources in Power BI Desktop. You may submit a feature request on idea.

 

Regards,

 

 

that option is disabled for all of my reports - those created from service-based datasets (azure EA billing, azure audit), and those created by uploading basic CSV files as datasets.

Looking at Limitations listd on

https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-export-to-pbix/

 

Looks like only reports which are published through power bi desktop can be downloaded.in that case I do not see way of accessing same on Power BI desktop.
