@BHAVI2803 That page doesn't have the solution but in the limitation, it says, if you have a large format turned on, you cannot download the file.

Hi @BHAVI2803 ,

@parry2k Thanks for your concern about this case!

vjunyantmsft_0-1715148721203.png

This message means that your dataset is too large. And for "Large semantic model storage format", in some cases, only the live connected report mode is allowed to be downloaded.

Of course, there are other possible reasons other than large semantic models that prevent you from choosing this download format. You can refer to the following document to troubleshoot the cause by yourself.

Hi v-junyant-msft,

Thank you for response and time,

My semantic model is not that big(less than 50 MB) and I have data storage available (10GB), and I also tried to publish the same workbook in the diffrent org workspace( having the same configuration), over there option is enabled to downlaod the dashboard with data.

 

So, I am wondering am I missing something here.

 

Thank You!

@Anonymous you don't have to answer unnecessarily while I am waiting for the response. Not sure why would you do that.

Hi parry2k,

Thank you for your response and time . I went through the shared link already but could not find the solution specified in the article that's why I posted the issue here. If you have any specific solution available that would be very helpful.
Thank You!
