    Hi rickymcmaster 

     

    There are any option that I can think of is to use git integration and get. the PBIX file into source control and doing it that way you would get the data set and the report. What you could then do is get the pbip file and open that in Power BI desktop which will allow you to then get the report.

Hi, you can swap semantic model by clicking in Data source settings (Home bar -> Transform data). Choose your semantic model and wait a few seconds. You will see the change at the bottom of the page. 

I hope it helps you!

You're missing the point. 
In the Desktop you can do that. But the point is that we made a report online (in the Service) that is not downloadable because of a scrazy limitation (report was build on a dataset in another workspace).
So if not downloadable -> no pbix file, if no pbix file -> no Desktop functionality.
