My PowerShell script to download .pbix file from Power BI service in one click

What if I need to download .pbix file from Power BI service? I’ll need it if a report has been edited in Power BI Service or if I just want to have a version after the most recent scheduled data refresh (without refreshing it in Power BI Desktop). I can open a browser, logout from Power BI Service (if I was logged in to a wrong tenant), login, open a workspace, find my report, download a .pbix file, backup my local version of the file and replace it with the file downloaded from Power BI Service. Nothing complicated, but it takes more than just a keyboard shortcut, and I'm lazy (efficient).

 

Therefore, one more PowerShell  script based on Power BI  Cmdlets to automate my daily tasks. Just one keyboard shortcut to replace a selected local .pbix file with a copy downloaded from Power BI Service. With 2 backups created before replacing.

Hi @avatorl,

 

Yes, it's convenient.

Power bi let's us download pbix from the UI, but we can also export it through the API.
