Any one know why is not possible to download the Power BI file when you made the connection to a Azure SQL Data warehouse from Power BI Service (not using PBI Desktop)?
I am asking this because is not clear when data is up to date using methods below when what type of connection is used when use the PBI Service:
- Direct Query using PBI Desktop. Using this method I still have the refresh option enable.
- PBI Services (Connecting using Get Data option)
What is the difference?
Why we can not download the file when it is created from PBI Service?
Thank you!

@Anonymous A prerequisite for downloading to a PBIX is that you start with a PBIX. I can't speak to the decision or why the limitiation is there, but it is a requirement at this point in time. DQ from a PBIX should be the live information all the time, but it requires an interaction to initiate another query. So a refresh may just pull the latest for the dataset depending on where you are hitting the refresh.
Hi @Seth_C_Bauer thanks for the answer.
That explanation was based in some Power BI documentation?
Can you share with us?
Thanks.
