Export data to Excel not working in Report Server

 Just to add a little detail we're using Power BI Report Server, August 2017 Preview.  On visualizations like Table, the Export Data feature is not working when viewing a Power BI report in the browser.  THe option is available on the menu in the upper-right corner, but nothing happens when you click it.

 

Capturing network traffic in the browser's Developer Tools shows that the browser (this is seen in both IE 11 and Chrome) makes a request for http://powerbiservername/14.0.600.379/externals/filesaver.min.js when you click Export Data, but it receives a 404 (Not Found) response in reply. 

 

An Error is also shown in the console:

message: "Script error for "filesaver"
http://requirejs.org/docs/errors.html#scripterror"

 

Is there a workaround? It looks like all the resources (script, css, etc.) are compiled into DLLs, but is there any way to manually copy the missing filesaver.min.js somewhere and have the web server find it?

Hi,

 

I founf a workaround for this issue by installing on my Power BI Server the ARR role and redirecting the request conatining filesaver.min.js to a farm based on a single static server. On this server I put the filesaver js file and I can export my data to csv files. Hope it helps!
