Is it possible to download all 500 pbix files?

Is it possible to download all 500 pbix files at once and gradually convert into pbip and commit to git?

1 ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Use Powershell to enumerate the datasets and then loop through the list and download the ones that don't have any of the restrictions. Some will not allow you to download.

Thank you, @lbendlin , for your response.

 

Hi @gissah68,

We appreciate your inquiry on the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

As per my understanding, Power BI currently does not offer a built-in option to bulk download PBIX files across multiple workspaces, particularly when using Power BI Pro licenses. Given that you are using Power BI Pro, the available options are limited to manually downloading the files by users who have Build permissions on each report.

Please refer to the following workaround, which may help address your concern:

  1. Navigate to each workspace and download the PBIX files via the Power BI Service UI. To do this, select the report → click on More options (ellipsis) → choose Download .pbix. Repeat this step for each report you wish to back up.

  2. Once the files are downloaded, you may convert the PBIX files into PBIP format using the latest version of Power BI Desktop. The PBIP format enables better source control and collaboration through Git.

  3. After conversion, you can manually push the PBIP files to your desired Git repository using your preferred Git tool.

If you find our response helpful, kindly mark it as the accepted solution and consider giving it a kudos. This will assist other community members who may have similar queries.

Thank you.

They are all coming from various workspaces about 15 of them. We only have Pro License. We may move to Fabric soon.
