Hi satwik_gorlaman 

 

Could you please check and try the following:

  • Power BI Embedded’s export/download relies on the browser’s ability to show pop-ups or trigger downloads.
  • Make sure your embed iframe isn’t missing required permissions like allow-downloads and allow-popups.
  • In your embed code, set the iframe sandbox attribute to include at least:
    • allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-downloads allow-forms
  • Some browsers and containers (e.g. Teams or browser settings) also block pop-ups by default, so check browser pop-up blockers.

If your iframe or environment restricts downloads, the file download won't trigger even if the API call is successful. Adjust the embed settings accordingly and test in different browsers.
