Hello,
Is it not possible to download the PBIX file for Usage metrics report?
Regards
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi vmakhija,
You can not download PBIX of Usage Metrics directly from Power BI Service.
As a workaround, you can connect to power bi service in power bi desktop and select Dashboard Usage Metrics Model or Report Usage Metrics Model you have created.
After being loaded into power bi desktop, you can save the report as a PBIX file.

Jimmy Tao
