R/W endpoints
Hi all,
Since introducing of R/W endpoints i was super excited and i hardly waited to use some of the tools out there to be able to handle my datasets while they are online.
Some of my datasets on dedicated (premium) capacity are really huge and downloading and uploading 1GB dataset just to do a simple change is not a job you would usually enyoj doing, but if you are using Tabular editor and R/W endpoints this could be done in 15 seconds!!
I tried this multiple times, and as a result measures gets updated and works fine, change is super fast, but I am not able to dowload it as PBIX any more. I get following message when i try to donwload dataset or report linked to changed dataset "We couldn't export to .pbix format. Please try again later or contact support. If you contact support, please provide these details."
When I reached supprot they found follwoing exception on their side:

- Hi there
Once your PBIX goes into Premium and is using R/W you can no longer download the PBIX because it is all changed within the Power BI Service.
You are more likely to modify your existing PBIX and upload it again (The challenge is that you will have to reload all the data)
There are changes coming later to make incremental changes to the PBIX and then upload only the changes.Hi GilbertQ
Do you know any article online on this subject? I was watching that webinar from Christian Wade few months ago, and he never talked about any restrictions.
In my case after changing dataset on service with tabular editor i cannot longer download both dataset and reports that are using live connection to this dataset. This does not make any sense, i already have ticket open for this but MS support is just confused and giving me generic answer ("hey we will check and let you know") when i ask for status.
So far in weeks they did nothing to provide any solution.
I know it is har to solve this issues like this on community so i was writing this post more to get an idea does anyone use this feature without any problems?

What I do is I always have a local copy of the dataset where I model and make my changes.
Only once that is done do I then deploy the changes to the PBI dataset.
This is how I would suggest developing and is considered best practice because you always work offline with a local copy. And ensures that you do not deploy a change that could break the entire model.
