How do I export a pbix where the data lives in another workspace?

[DataDave]

Right now the reports live in Workspace A and the data lives in my colleagues My Workspace. I receive an error when I try to download the report PBIX. Are there any permissions that can be set to allow me to download the pbix from the shared workspace?

Of course this isn't ideal since I cannot improve the data. If I publish the data to Workspace B and we remap the reports in Workspace A to Workspace B will there be any issues with exporting the pbix from Workspace A for ongoing development?

Hi @DataDave,

It seems a known limitation that not able to use download feature on the shared dataset, you can check below document know more about this:

Interesting, I don't think that you can do that but maybe someone else knows better.
