Hi, jz451 

 

This works fine for me.
You can check if the file was created successfully by opening the local folder.

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Temp\Power BI Desktop


If it is created successfully but does not open automatically in your browser, check if your browser is blocking the file from opening. Or change the default browser to see if it opens automatically

 

Also check if you are encountering export Considerations and limitations.

Considerations and limitations

 

Test:

Version: 2.97.801.0 64-bit (September 2021) 

Version: 2.99.621.0 64-bit (November 2021)
