    Hi Sam

    The only way to export data to excel is from within the PBI Service.

Thanks guys,

I just had a reply from the report creator and apparently they had sent me the wrong link!

Once I opened the correct link I was asked to sign into our PowerBI Pro account and the report opened in PowerBI webapp which has the eclipse.

Thank you all for your replies!

Good thing I didn't take them up on the overinflated training fees!

    Thanks,
