Solved: Power BI Web to Power BI Desktop

HESO99 · ‎08-25-2018

Hi,

I use both power BI Desktop and Web. I started in Power BI Web. I have my first graphs in Web. I construct my first power BI reports and dashboards by importing the excel file data to power BI data. But now, I want to move these to Power BI Desktop. Is there a way to take this file Power BI Web to the Power BI Desktop. Is there any connector tool, import file or something?

There is currently no way to download a PBIX file for a report created on the Service website. The "Download Report" option in the File menu only works for reports you originally publish from Desktop. You would need to recreate the report in Desktop, and going forward, I would recommend creating all of your content there and publishing to Service.

Hi @HESO99

You can save or save as your report and then start working on your latest downloaded file from web 🙂

Thanks,
