Hi. That might happen for several reasons. Please first check the considerations and limitations of the feature:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/service-export-to-pbix#considerations-and-t...

Can you tell us how did you build the report? have you made it in service or desktop?

Hope that helps,

Dear ibarrau,

I build report on web from shared dataset that IT shared to me.

I can't download PBIX file from the report I have created.

And IT can't download PBIX from the report that I shared back to them.

Hi, @nutdiablo 

• To download the file, you must have edit access to the report.
• The report must have been created by using Power BI Desktop and published to the Power BI service, or the .pbix file must have been uploaded to the Power BI service.
• Reports must be published or updated after November 23, 2016. Reports published earlier aren't downloadable.
• This feature won't work with reports and content packs originally created in the Power BI service.
• Always use the latest version of Power BI Desktop when you open downloaded files. Downloaded .pbix files might not open in non-current versions of Power BI Desktop. For example, you cannot open downloaded .pbix files using a Desktop version that does not support information protection.
• If your administrator has turned off the ability to download data, this feature won't be visible in the Power BI service.
• Datasets with incremental refresh can't be downloaded to a .pbix file.
• Datasets enabled for large models can't be downloaded to a .pbix file.
• Datasets modified by using the XMLA endpoint can't be downloaded to a .pbix file.
• If you create a Power BI report based on a dataset in one workspace and publish to a different workspace, you and your users won't be able to download it. The download feature is currently not supported in this scenario.

Have you confirmed all of the above considerations?

If it doesn’t solve your problem, please feel free to ask me.

Best Regards
