Hi @deepali_garg 

 

There are some considerations and limitations on downloading report to pbix file. Please check whether your issue is cased by one of the following items. Thanks in advance!

Limitations when downloading a report .pbix file

  • You can download a file in either Reading view or Editing view. You must be at least a Contributor to the workspace that the report is in. If the report is based on a dataset in another workspace, you need to be at least a Contributor to that workspace as well.
  • If you create a report using the Create button in the Power BI service, and it's based on a dataset in another workspace, you can't download it.
  • Reports created in Power BI Desktop must have been published or uploaded to the Power BI service before you can download them.
  • If you create a report in the Power BI service, you have to save it before you can download it.
  • You can't download reports based on datasets that are imported from OneDrive for Business.
  • You can't download reports based on local Excel or CSV files that were uploaded to Power BI.
  • The report you're downloading must be published or updated after November 23, 2016. Reports published earlier aren't downloadable.

  • Usage metric reports can't be downloaded to a .pbix file.
  • You can only download the original report. You can't download a copy of a report.
  • If you download a live connection report (connected to SSAS or AAS) after you change its data source by using REST APIs Update Datasources or Update Datasources In Group, the downloaded .pbix will still contain the old data source.
  • You can't download reports created in the Power BI service that are based on a single dataset that is configured for large models, incremental refresh, or has been modified by using the XMLA endpoint.
  • If you create a Power BI report based on a dataset in one workspace and publish the report to a different workspace, you can't download the report if the dataset is configured for large models, incremental refresh, or has been modified by using the XMLA endpoint.
  • Downloading a .pbix file after deployment isn't supported as part of the deployment pipeline (ALM).
