Advocate ICan't export to Power BI Desktop format
Hi, the issue appears to have been resolved now. The below is the root cause as shared by the Microsoft Support Team.
Root Cause
Based on our investigation and system logs, the issue appears to have been caused by a transient backend configuration or service update affecting download functionality for Semantic Models in certain clusters. These updates, while temporary, may have inadvertently imposed download restrictions or impacted the service's behavior.
Since no changes were made on your end, and the issue resolved itself without intervention, it was likely a backend adjustment that has since been corrected.
Confirming we're dealing with the same issue right now, which began on November 8th 2024 (last Friday). Semantic Models (all of them) are no longer exportable if their size is over 50 Mb (extremely odd), regardless of whether large dataset format is enabled or not. We have an ongoing ticket with Microsoft and are currently discussing the possible root cause. We have tried a few runs of troubleshooting so far, but the behaviour has definitely changed. Microsoft is looking into the logs at the moment. Will keep this thread postead if any solution is found.
