Anonymous I have the exact same issue.
After binding a report to a dataset located on another workspace using the REST API "Rebind Report In Group", that report in no longer downloable.
Yes, I can Edit the report in the Service, but what about if I want to edit the report using Power BI Desktop? The "Download this file" otpion is greyed out, so it can't be downloaded any longer.
The intention of doing the report binding to another dataset was to take advantage of shared datasets, but having the inability of downloading the report after the binding is a drawback.
Does it mean that any report using a shared dataset, they can't be downloaed from the Service, and have to always be edited on the cloud?
Any insights on what impacts the use of a shared dataset have on reports would be appreciated.
I understand that to make changes to the shared dataset itself, you would have to edit the report that "owns" that dataset, but what about if I just want to make report's visuals changes? Like adding another visual, or a slicer?
