Hi everyone,


if you use the export to file REST API to create a PDF/PPTX (as described here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/reports/export-to-file-in-group) you cannot tell by the export status, if there was a problem with one or more visuals while the report was created.


So, you have to check the created PDF, if there might be an error message hidden somewhere on one of the pages.


It would be great, if instead of a status "Succeeded" e.g. the status "SucceededWithProblems" is returned, if the report was successfully created, but not all visuals rendered successfully.


Thank you!


Regards,

Björn
