can you provide a code snippet of this part so that I can see?

 

var powerBIReportExportConfiguration = new PowerBIReportExportConfiguration
{
Settings = new ExportReportSettings
{
Locale = "en-us",
},

Pages = pageNames?.Select(pn => new ExportReportPage(pageName = pn.ToString())).ToList(),

};
var exportRequest = new ExportReportRequest
{
Format = fileFormat,
PowerBIReportConfiguration = powerBIReportExportConfiguration,
};

var fileFormat = FileFormat.PDF
var exportRequest = new ExportReportRequest
{
Format = fileFormat
};

    So I figure out my issue.  I was trying to export as .PNG.  When I did .PDF it works just fine.  Apparently there is a setting that need to be set in the admin portal for .PNG but I can't find it.  Does anyone have any luck enabling .PNG?

      Thanks, changing the export file format to .PDF resolved this issue for me as well!
