"Download Excel File" not working in Lakehouse SQL Endpoint Query Editors (SQL and Visual)

As the subject states, the "Download Excel File" button does not appear to work in either the SQL Query or Visual Query editors in within a Fabric SQL Endpoint on a Lakehouse. When I click the button, nothing happens. This is even on basic queries with no transformations, just selecting all rows and columns from a single table. This issue is occurring on latest Microsoft Edge browser.

 

Anyone else experiencing this issue or have a workaround other than manually creating an Excel file with the generated SQL query and manually configuring the connection info?

 

Thanks!

Hi @daxman ,
As per the issue you should turn on sensitivity label for your data and this will fix the issue. And also there is a bug fix going on and the team is working on fixing the issue in upcoming releases of Fabric. Currently, we don't have any ETA when it will be available. 

We are reaching out to the internal team to get more information related to ETA and will get back to you as soon as we have an update.

 

Stay tuned for more updates.

Hello @daxman 
Thanks for using the Fabric community.
Can you please share a screenshot of what you are seeing ?


Thanks

I have a Visual Query I've created in my SQL Endpoint on a Lakehouse. When I click "Download Excel File" nothing happens. No error message, and no file is downloaded. I've also tried it with very simple Visual Queries without any transformation steps and the same issue occurs.
