"Data could not be obtained from the data model (...) Error: Forbidden"

I can't export data this way either:

I have administrator role in this project, so I can't find a possible solution to this problem.

 

Thanks for the help!

Hi @Anonymous 

Please refer to the following points:

1.Please check that do you have the 'build' permission of the dataset, only the user has the build permission, then he/she can export the data, you can refer to the following link.

Build permission for shared datasets - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

2.Check that the report has the Can aggregate data option turned on, if not,please open it in Power BI Desktop.

File > Options and Settings > Options > Current File > Report Settings > Export Data subtitle > “Allow End Users to Export Both Summarized and Underlying Data from the Service.
