Getting error when trying to download a pbix
- 5 years ago
That MS doc needs to be updated. Folks here's the result of my testing.
I created a report with its own data source so it would publish to the same workspace as the report.
then I made a copy of that report
Then I create in the desktop a new report that used that published shared datasource and published it to the same workspace
Then I made a copy of that report on the service.
Results:Any report, copy or not, that had its datasource in that workspace downloaded the pbix successfully. A report with a shared datasource, in that workspace or not, that had been published to the workspace downloaded its pbix successfully. However any report that was a copy of a report whose datasource was in another workspace failed to download successfully.
Therefore you can download the pbix of a report as long as:1) the report is a copy and has its datasource in that workspace
2) is not a copy and has been published, even if its datasource is in another workspace.
I have not tested any new reports created solely on the service.
thanks. Was the datasource in that workspace? Did you try it with a report using a published datasource in another workspace?
