Is it possible to download a published report (from powerbi.com)?

[wstrasse]

Hi,

is it possible to download a published report from powerbi.com?

I have created an initial version in Power BI Desktop, published the pbix file and modified it in powerbi.com.

Now I would like to download this changed asset. Is this currently possibly?

I haven't seen a way to do it.

neither a download in powerbi.com or an import option in Power BI Desktop App

This is high in our backlog. Continue to vote for it at https://support.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi/suggestions/7679961-download-dashboards-reports-t...

This functionality is in preview (since Nov 2016) https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-preview-of-download-power-bi-desktop-files-from-...

please take a look at the limitations - not all reports can be downloaded again!

Limitations and Considerations

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 originated from Power BI Desktop and been published to the Power BI service, or the .pbix must have been uploaded to the service.
• Reports must be published or updated after November 23, 2016. Reports published prior to then are not downloadable.
• 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.
