User can't export underlying data, but only for one report...

I've got a user who can't export underlying data, but only on one report, and other users can export from that same report.

 

I've checked (and double-checked) and they have Read permissions to two Datasets which each have one Report. On one Dataset/Report, they can export underlying data just fine, but on the other Dataset/Report, the option for underlying data is grayed out.

 

I checked that both Reports are set to "Allow exporting summarized and underlying data", and I can export underlying data on both Reports. It is only this one user that can only export underlying data on one Report. They can export summarized data on both.

 

What could possibly be causing this behavior?

    I didn't get a chance to try any of the suggested solutions. The user reported that it just up and started working again. Never figured out why.

    Hi Anonymous 

     

    What happens if you change the permission from Read to Build for the user, can then they export?

     

    Also what you could do is to remove the user and all their permissions. And then add them back in with the same permissions as the other users and see if that works?

    Hi, Anonymous ;

    please recheck the  this two points:

    1.make sure the  user have the dataset "build " permission , not dashboard or report permission

     

    2.make sure  that Power BI admins didn’t disable the  function of "export of data" for  some groups or users.
