Hi -
I'm a PowerBI newbie! I'm trying to copy metrics from a scorecard and read that I should download the pbix file, but I'm not able - I'm getting the following error.

Hi @TC04CUNY ,
Do you mean the Usage Metrics report? You can not download PBIX of Usage Metrics directly from Power BI Service.
As a workaround, you can connect to Power BI Service in Power BI Desktop and select Dashboard Usage Metrics Model or Report Usage Metrics Model you have created.
After being loaded into Power BI Desktop, you can save the report as a PBIX file.

Hi @TC04CUNY ,
I believe just above the activity id there should be a line that states the actual error. Could you copy that please? If that status code of 401 is actually the issue then that error noamlly means that you do not have permissions to download the file.
Proud to be a Datanaut!
Private message me for consulting or training needs.
Thank you - here's the complete copy:
We couldn't export to .pbix format.
