Hi all,
In summary, embedding reports in apps and displaying them in the content area causes download links to stop working.
There's already two threads that explain this situation, but they are old and unsolved:
One such case is the "Export data" function that's available in most visuals. Another case is when using links that would normally trigger a download, for example a link pointing to a SharePoint to download a file.
I know there are workarounds for this, but are there any plans to solve this bug?
Thanks
NAOS
Hi! please be sure you have checked the limitation and you are coding the export method like the following doc:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/overview/powerbi/export-data
If everythin is ok with the doc you should send a ticket to microsoft or create an issue in the community because it sounds bad.
I hope that helps,
Happy to help!
Hi @ibarrau ,
Thank you for the quick answer! I should have explained in more detailed, but what I'm actually using is the "Embed Report" -> "Website or portal" -> "Embed" link available OTB in a report to include it in an app's navigation panel.
And exporting data from a report published this way does't work...
Thank you though,
Nicolas
Oh. Then it might be a bug. You can try submiting an issue here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues
Or you can try connecting with Microsoft ticket support.
Regards,
Happy to help!
