Hello,

You first need to know how bookmarks work in Power Bi.

  • Bookmarks in Power Bi just work similarly to other web browsers' bookmarks; HOW - Power Bi bookmarks only load data when clicked so like the browser bookmarks if the internet is not available then you cannot access your page.
  • Power Bi data is loaded when you click the button. Those pages don't keep the memory of any data bookmarked to improve the speed of loading a page.

Hence, when your report is downloaded that means you have only downloaded the loaded page when you click the button it needs to be connected to data sources for fetching new data.

 

Thanks
