Reports created online - how do I download to Power BI Desktop

[NexusProjects]

If I create reports using Power BI online and then open Power BI Desktop, how do I get the new online reports to appear in Power BI Desktop for further editing?

Just curious if this feature is still in the pipeline?

@NexusProjects Currently there is no way to "pull down" reports from the site to the desktop or any other format. I asked this question on one of the public webinars and was told that it was coming in the future.

So I would suggest at this point to create your visuals in the desktop and push them up to the site if you want to save a copy.

This feature would be great to have... I hope this feature is added sooner rather than later!!

Yes this is definitely a good feature to have sooner than later. Especially in scenarios where we are collaborating using online service and want to bring the visuals back to Power BI Desktop
