I have imported the Azure Audit content pack into my Power BI, and I now have an Azure Audit Log dataset in my lists of datasets.
However, when I open Power BI desktop, I don't see any way to access that dataset.
Is this possible? I can't seem to find that specific pack in the "online services" when I click Get Data.
Power BI service now has option to download report is it disabled for this report which you created using content pack?
Quoting from the announcement:
"For now, the preview feature can only download reports that originated from Power BI Desktop."
So I can't download it for desktop, as I first need to create it in desktop. Chicken and the egg thingy...
Currently, Azure Audit is not supported as the online service data source in Power BI Desktop. Please see: Data sources in Power BI Desktop. You may submit a feature request on idea.
Regards,
that option is disabled for all of my reports - those created from service-based datasets (azure EA billing, azure audit), and those created by uploading basic CSV files as datasets.
Looking at Limitations listd on
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-export-to-pbix/
Looks like only reports which are published through power bi desktop can be downloaded.in that case I do not see way of accessing same on Power BI desktop.
