    Hi Strizzolo ,

     

    One workaround, you can turn off Incremental refresh on Power BI Desktop, and then republish it to Power BI Service and replace the earlier report. After this, you can download the PBIX file.

     

     

     

    Best Regards,

Strizzolo    what happens if something happens to your desktop version and you need the one that is in the cloud to make changes to it?  So once you upload is it locked and lost to you?  This seems like a major disadvantage to me.

We just about to implement the incremental refresh option. But this issue has stop us from proceed to implement it. Being able to download it from the cloud bring a huge advantage to the team-based Power BI report development. When the report is published to the service and it is locked and lost forever in the cloud is not collaboration friendly I'd say.

 

Hoping to find some alternative on this options.
