how to export a dashboard as pbix

[Anonymous]

I have been able to export a Report using the following cmd:
Export-PowerBIReport -Id e875b7e6-3f1f-41f6-8d11-517b39964b08 -OutFile .\Sales.pbix

I can see that there is this command to get all the dashboards:
Get-PowerBIDashboard

BUT I cannot find a cmd neither  on powershell nor on rest:
Dashboards - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Docs

MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Reports Module | Microsoft Docs

Finally, is somehow possible to export a dashboard?!?

Hi @Anonymous 

You cannot export dashboard as pbix file . As we know , we pin tile or live page to dashboard from reports , a dashboard can combain multiple reports' content . It presents users with the visualizations they need by combining multiple views . But dashboard don't support building data model . 

A PBIX file is a document created by Power BI Desktop, a Microsoft application used to create reports and visualizations. It contains queries, data models, visualizations, settings, and reports added by the user .

So, in essence, the architecture of dashboard and pbix are different, you can't export dashboard as pbix .

A dashboard on Power BI is subset of a Report. So I dont think you can export a dashboard to a pbix.
