Download Reports to a .pbix file

[jcbender]

Have the ability to download Reports from the service to a local .pbix file that can be modified in the designer application.

It would be a good idea if we can download the reports from Power BI website as a pbix file in our local machines.

Round trip capability between PowerBI.com and a desktop app PBIX file would be very valuable

Would be a great addition to Power BI if we can download Reports/Dashboards to pbix.

At the moment you can Publish changes to a report made in Desktop to the webapp, but there is no way to pull changes made via the web app back into Desktop. It would be nice to make this a 2 way street.

Really need to be able to get the changes made online onto the desktop app. This would very much aid better use of this tool.

The pbix should be the same as the uploaded version - it should not have any instance specifc guids (like reporting services adds)

I completely agree with this need. I published, then somehow pbix file became corrupted and could not be recovered. Now I'm left re-doing the file to edit locally as I do almost all editing on the desktop application. There needs to be a sync / push / export version to pbix file.

Due to this lack of functionality, we are choosing Excel as our BI Frontent

There's also another reason: If we push in data via the PowerBI REST API, we can't really model it with DAX, as we can't get it out to PowerBI desktop
