Hi Pedzilla, acording to my testing, this uption is available when the .pbix original was publish with last version of Power Bi Desktop or created in Service.

If you have that report in service published with a really old version of Desktop, the option is greyed out.

 

Hope it helps.

So the ability to download a PBIX created in the portal is not possible?  this would mean we can't get reports created there down to powerbi desktop.  Unspecial.

So the problem remains, that we want to take our reports created online and get them into desktop and there is no way to do that!  This is a problem!
