In Power BI service, when downloading a Dataset, an option should be available to download without data. Sometimes only a small change needs to be applied in the Dataset but we have to wait a long time for Dataset to download due to size of data.

- I also like this related idea: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/32760751-download-report-should-always-save-the-pbix-with-a
- I like this idea
- This seems more like a service bug because the PBIX being downloaded does not actually have incremental refresh enabled, it shouldn't be treated as a feature request.
- This is very crucial. And I agree, this is not a feature infact, its a bug. If we are able to download reports pointing to SSAS in live connection, then why not make this available for reports pointing to incremental load Datasets in LIVE CONNECTION?
- Hi Microsoft Power BI Team You've been doing an amazing job keeping in pace with the client requirements for various features. Thanks for your time and effort. This is a 'must-have' feature. Kindly incorporate this great feature into Incremental Refresh for both Power BI Pro and Premium. Thanks a million in advance. Kind regards, Bhoga
- This would be particularly useful for other analysts to edit reports in desktop.
- Dataset is getting bigger and takes a lot of time to refresh. We have configured incremental refresh but we cannot download the PBIX anymore in order to make changes in PBI desktop. Could you please look for the feature in the coming releases of Power BI. It will be very helpful to the many of the users.
- Hi, Currently if a report has incremental refresh enabled, we can't download the pbix. Can we have a limit option set there to decide the amount of data we'd want to download or atleast a limited amount of data. Say For example, while publishing i published 20mn rows (till June 2020) and then by August the numbers increased to 30mn, i should be able to download the file still.
- Currently is is not possible to download a report that Live Connects to a Power BI Dataset if that dataset itself has incremental refresh enabled. The report itself has no data/partitions, it connects to the dataset that has the data/partitions. Make it possible to download the report. Note: You can download reports that live connect to SSAS data sources even when the SSAS database has partitions.
