Hello,

 

Did you find a solution for this problem ?

We are facing exactly the same issue on all our pbix reports on the service

To download the file, you must have edit access to the report

  • The report must have been created using Power BI Desktop and been published to the Power BI service, or the .pbix must have been uploaded to the service.
  • Reports must be published or updated after November 23, 2016. Reports published prior to then are not downloadable.
  • This feature will not work with reports originally created in the Power BI service, including content packs.
  • You should always be using the latest version of Power BI Desktop when opening downloaded files. Downloaded .pbix files may not open in non-current versions of Power BI Desktop.
  • If your administrator has turned off the ability to export data, this feature will not be visible in the Power BI service.
  • Dataset with incremental refresh can't be downloaded to a .pbix file.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

I have met all of the criteria listed so I am not sure why it is still not working.
