Yes, I still have the local copy.
My colleague wants to edit the report via Power BI Service, then download it as a pbix. But it didn't work because the report was not downloadable, even before edit.
But my colleague has edit access to the report. It's just that when she tried downloading the report, it failed with the above error message.
Then when I tried to diagnose the problem, it turns out that the report is also not downloadable before any edit was done.
Hi, I've actually tried that a few times since the past few days. I also tried deleting each visual one-by-one to see whether any kind of visual might be causing the problem. But the issue still occurs even after emptying the whole dashboard.
Just thinking out loud...
Hi, sorry for the ambiguous statement. I meant deleting all visuals from each tab in the report. The deletion of visuals was done in Power BI Service.
Hi @veee,
When you are trying to download the .pbix, are you going into the dashboard/report from the Apps link on the left menu bar, or are you going to Workspaces and selecting the workspace? I just tried a test one I have, and when I selected it using the Apps menu item, it would not let me edit the report nor down load it. When I selected the Workspaces item in the left menu and selected the workspace, I was able to edit and download the pbix.
Hi, I accessed the dashboard via the Workspaces item, so the "Edit" and "Download PBIX" shows up on my screen. The problem is, clicking Download PBIX will result in the error message that I have posted previously.
Have you tried making a copy of the .pbix file you have with a different name then uploading that to the Power BI service and see if your collegue can download that as a .pbix?
Yes, I have, it also fails. Even I myself cannot download the pbix once I upload it to PBI Service...
I would ask IT to check your download policy settings. I think that it is possibly being blocked.
Is it still a download policy problem if I'm able to download other different pbix files? The download just doesn't work for this particular pbix file.
This is why I tried deleting each visual to see whether any visuals are causing the problem. But even after emptying the dashboard, the problem still persists.
Are there any known causes that are related the contents of the pbix file? As far as I know, it is not mentioned in the list of pbix export limitations on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-export-to-pbix#limitations-and-considerations.
