Hi

 

I am facing the problem, that the report I was working on yesterday cannot be opened anymore. Even I tried all options.

So I tried to download the report again from PowerBI Web Service. 

An error occured.

 

I was told it can come from incremental load, but the incrementel load was set in June, the amount of data is small 20MB file.

 

Please help

  • The report you're downloading must be published or updated after November 23, 2016. You can't download reports published earlier than that.
  • This feature won't work with reports and the built-in downloadable samples originally created in the Power BI service, unless the report was created through the quick create experience.
  • Reports created in the Power BI service must be saved before they can be downloaded.
  • If your administrator has turned off the ability to download data, this feature won't be visible in the Power BI service.
  • Datasets with incremental refresh can't be downloaded to a PBIX file.
  • Datasets enabled for large models and the reports created from these datasets can't be downloaded to a PBIX file.
  • Downloading a PBIX file after deployment isn't supported as part of the deployment pipeline (ALM).
  • Usage metric reports can't be downloaded to a PBIX file.
  • Datasets modified by using the XMLA endpoint can't be downloaded to a PBIX file.
  • If you create a Power BI report based on a dataset in one workspace and publish to a different workspace, you and your users won't be able to download it. The download feature is not supported in this scenario.
  • You can only download the original report. You can't download a copy of a report.
