Export .pbix file failed - Status code 403

[BIfanatic]

I am not able to export a pbix file due to unknown reasons. I receive status code 403 directly after trying. Does anyone know what this means? Thanks for your help

Hi  @BIfanatic ,

Please check these:

There are a few important considerations and limitations associated with downloading (exporting) a .pbix file from Power BI service.

• To download the file, you must have edit access to the report
• The report must have been created using Power BI Desktop and been published to the Power BI service, or the .pbix must have been uploaded to the service.
• This feature will not work with reports originally created in the Power BI service, including content packs.
• You should always be using the latest version of Power BI Desktop when opening downloaded files. Downloaded .pbix files may not open in non-current versions of Power BI Desktop.
• If your administrator has turned off the ability to export data, this feature will not be visible in the Power BI service.
• Dataset with incremental refresh can't be downloaded to a .pbix file.

Unless any restrictions are set by your power Bi tenant admin, it should work. If it is a service issue, wait for sometimes and try or raise a support ticket at: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/support/
