Unable to download report pbix after using rebind REST API

Hi All,

 

Using this great info on the REST API by GilbertQ  I was able to rebind my report to a different shared dataset:

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/Separating-reports-from-dataset-while-retaining-user-bookmarks/m-p/1023404#M92630

 

Now I face another problem - I cannot pull down the report as a pbix to update/republish in Power BI Desktop.  The option to save the pbix is greyed out.  I tried the REST API for 'Export Report in Group' but it does not work and states that it will not work if you have used rebind. 😞

 

Anyone know any other ways around this?  I would like to have pbix file to manage/publish the ongoing report changes and not have to create a new report that would clobber users existing bookmarks.

 

Thanks,

Dustin

    Had another idea, create a new report from the same shared dataset and copy in the same visuals, etc. then publish over the other report.  Unfortunately I got this error message when trying to publish the report:

      Hi dusdau,

      It seems like something wrong with your rebind operations so that your contents can mapping to multiple datasets which caused the conflict with update/publish operations.

      I'd like to suggest you open a support ticket to contact power bi team to check the backend contents binding id.
