    We suspect that there's an issue with locale in "Export to File" REST API when your report resides on a Gen1 capacity.

    We recommend upgrading the capacity to Gen2 where this feature works as expected.

I don't see a reason it won't work for you, but it might help to see the request body as it was sent in the network (for example using fiddler traces).

Also if you can please share the request ID as returned from Power BI it might help us find the reason.

The ID of the Export is: MS9CbG9iSWRWMi1lODA3ZjEzZC1lZmEwLTQ3MzktYmJhYS05Mjg3MzE4MTFkOWNPU28zVEx4THB1RGF5eVd6NWFkM1JqSzJMWUtNVTVZY21WY3M0MFZUaWFjPS4=

 

I'll try and get the Fiddler trace working and respond with that later.

      Yes, upgrading to Gen2 fixed our locale problem. Thank you for your help.
