"Download Excel File" in Fabric SQL Query Editor not working
The "Download Excel File" button does not appear to work in the Fabric SQL Query editor on a Warehouse. As instructed, I am selecting the SELECT statement which produces the table which I want to export to Excel. However, when I select "Download Excel File" and then click the "Continue" button , nothing happens. This is even on basic queries with no transformations, i.e. just selecting all rows and columns from a single table. This issue is occurring on latest Microsoft Edge browser.
Is anyone else experiencng this issue or have a fix?
I have included a screenshot of the popup below when I select "Download Excel File":

Hi daxman , Anonymous ,
I have reached to the internal for help on this. They are working on this to find out the root cause of the issue. I will update you once I hear back from them.
Thanks for your patience.Hi,
Apologies for the issue you're experiencing. I tried this scenario and I'm unable to reproduce this issue on my end. I am able to download the excel file and also load the data into it. I have attached the screenshots for your reference.
Can you please check if your organization has turned off export to Excel in the tenant settings?
Can you also provide the .har file to me for us to troubleshoot this issue further? Here's instructions on how you can do that: How to collect a network trace | Microsoft Learn
