    Hi Anonymous I was able to reproduce this issue and we have deployed a fix which should be deployed to you in the next week or so. Basically the export to PDF was broken for the following scenarios:
    - exporting to PDF using the Service UI for a report that has a DQ connection to a source such as Azure SQL

    - exporting to PDF using the Service UI for a report that has a DQ connection to a Power BI dataset (composite on Power BI datasets)

    - exporting to PDF using Power Automate for a report in a Premium workspace that has a DQ conneciton to a Power BI dataset (composite on Power BI datasets). This is your scenario.

     

    Please check this again in a week. If the issue still persists, let me know.

since you are Pro, can you please confirm that the account you use to generate the PDF has build permissions on the dataset?

Hi jeroenterheerdt, the account used has Admin permissions in the Premium Workspace where the Dataset is published.
