Solved: End Users downloading data

microsoftrookie · ‎09-19-2017

Hello,

I would like to be able for end users (non Bi/ public) to be able to download report visual data. Unfortunately this feature is not available when the report is generated in the URL as I've been informed. However in a previous post I was sent a link with a reccomendation to check out power BI embedded. In this link https://microsoft.github.io/PowerBI-JavaScript/demo/filters.html I am able to download each of the reports visual data as an end user (link to the post https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/Allowing-End-users-to-download-data/m-p/251802#M31785

I tried embeding the report into a test html page, and while the embed worked, I was unable to replicate the results as they did in this sample that was linked to me. Can anyone let me know how they may have accomplished this or how wheter or not thier sample was a function of javascript coding rather being a BI tool? Thank you all in advance,

Regards,

My guess is that it is Publish to Web in your case, right? The public embedding case that allows exporting data is this feature Embedding with non-Power BI users (app owns data). It is not a simple embedding URL as Publish to web, if you have interest, see the App Owns Data demo on Github.
