hi, BIfanatic
Please check these:
There are a few important considerations and limitations associated with downloading (exporting) a .pbix file from Power BI service.
- To download the file, you must have edit access to the report
- The report must have been created using Power BI Desktop and been published to the Power BI service, or the .pbix must have been uploaded to the service.
- Reports must be published or updated after November 23, 2016. Reports published prior to then are not downloadable.
- This feature will not work with reports originally created in the Power BI service, including content packs.
- You should always be using the latest version of Power BI Desktop when opening downloaded files. Downloaded .pbix files may not open in non-current versions of Power BI Desktop.
- If your administrator has turned off the ability to export data, this feature will not be visible in the Power BI service.
- Dataset with incremental refresh can't be downloaded to a .pbix file.

Thanks for your extensive reply. I am going to check all of these bullets with my colleague. My first thought is that it might be possible that our administrator has turned off the export of data.
If that is it, I will mark your reply as solution.
