Download Supporting Data for a visualization?

FarmerKenny — Thu, 10 Feb 2022 22:47:37 GMT

Wondering if it's possible to have a viewer download the dataset that is behind a Visualization? We need to be able to do that for our public (external) to our domain users.

Usually this would be done via the Build permission and the XMLA access. Not sure if that is an option for your scenario.

How specifically would we acomplish the Build permission or XMLA access? ( I am relatively new to PowerBI).

First your tenant admin has to enable that for the tenant and then the individual app publishers have to allow it for each app. Are you a developer or a user of Power BI?

When you publish the app there is an option you need to enable.

Hi @FarmerKenny ,

If you only want end user to download the data of a visualization, you can try to use export data option of most visualizations.

For more details, please check: Export data from a Power BI visualization - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

Icey, your solution worked perfectly in my testing of our public PowerBI site this morning. Thank you for the solution. No need for addtitional licensing necessary. It worked with my existing Pro license.
