I use Power BI Desktop, create my report, all is nice and great. I Published it.
But what happens when I need to change something ?
I know If I made changes in Desktop I can publish it again and changes will be overwritten, BUT If I change things in editor via Web how can I Export that report back to Desktop is there a way to export from web back to Desktop ?
Thx

@ROGI There is no current mechanism to save reports from the Service to a PBIX file. It's a one way street at the moment.
Has there been a change to this answer? It seems ridiculous that you can't import reports from the web service to the desktop app...
Hi - This answer is from the end of 2015. Has there been any progress since? Thanks..
I ave same issue :
Is there currently a mechanism to save reports and Dahsboard generated from the Service to a PBIX file in order to continue edit in Dektop ?
