Exporting to Power BI Desktop reports with large imported dataset

[OOmelenchuk]

Has somebody faced the issue when [Exporting to Power BI Desktop] is not finishing long time. I do see the message "Your report is exporting to pbix", however I've been waiting 2 more hours but nothing.

Is it possible to donwload template for this report, or report without data from Power BI service?

Hi @OOmelenchuk,

I would suggest uploading a small simple report to your Workspace that you could use to verify that it isn't some small detail such as inside your browser settings that is keeping you from downloading the report.

I know for larger files with larger datasets it takes longer to download these reports.

After being able to successfully download a simple report then I woudl suggest it might be something wrong inside the file keeping the file from being downloaded.

Hi @Anonymous, I did all mentioned things, once i was able to download 300M of data with a report, small reports are downloaded well. The problem that I don't have reports(and templates) on my machine, and I try to load themto modify.

How big is the report, both in content and data size (assuming it's an import)? I had a 5-tab, 75MB report take two hours.

If multiple people need access to the PBIX, why not keep it hosted on a Dropbox/Google Drive/OneDrive and access it from there?

I was able to download report, Size was 750MB. It took lots, lots of time

I've added an idea to download template(.pbit) file from the Power BI Service, Template size is usually small, and we will be able to download any report and fill them on local. please vote

vote for downloading template from the Power BI Service

Another option is to keep your Power BI Reports in a source control repository such as GIT.

I also had a 750MB file and I left it overnight and it did eventually download. You have to give it time
