Power BI Export Feature Not Working
Hi All,
Thank you for the feedback. I was able to figure out the problem. Navigate to the below link and search for "Build Permission" and it will tell you how to navigate and adjust the setting.

i am also having this same issue with Export data feature in service. Does this mean that the user will have to install "Analyze in Excel" extension to be able to access and manipulate the underlying data? I was under the impression that if they enabled the feature on the admin portal, you will be able to download the excel file like we usually do on Power BI Dekstop. Is this not true?
My undestanding is as long as you provide the user "build" permission, they'll be able to Export Data as before. It worked for our users and they didn't have to install any extension.
I don't completely understand it but I've been told it's related to the latest "Build Permission" feature rolled out this past month.
