+# Editing a Power BI dataset through the XMLA endpoint
+
+Once a change is made to a Power BI dataset through the XMLA endpoint, it is not be possible to download the dataset as a .pbix file from the Power BI service. 
+
+However with the Power BI Project file it is possible to create a pbix file from the remote model in the following manner.

+> [!NOTE]
+> The described workaround is not officially supported by Microsoft and as such there is no guarantee that it will work for every model
+
+## Create empty Power BI Project
+
+The first step is to create a new Power BI report and save it as an empty Power BI Project (.pbip) file:
+
+![Save PBIP file](~/images/power-bi/save-pbip-file.png)
+
+This will create a folder structure containing an empty model file that will be overwritten later to move the XMLA endpoint semantic model to Power BI
+
+![PBIP with Model file](~/images/power-bi/pbip-file-bim-model.png)
+
+Close Power BI desktop afterwards.
+
+## Open and Save Model into Power BI Project
+
+With Tabular Editor open the XMLA endpoint and load the semantic model into the tool. 
+
+Using "File > Save As" navigate to the Power BI Project folder and overwrite the model file shown above. 
+
+This will save the remote model into the Power BI Project that will now contain the model metadata.

+
+## Save to pbix
+
+The next step is to save the Power BI project to a .pbix using File > Save As in Power BI Desktop.
+
+Once the file is saved, the data inside the newly created .pbix file can be refreshed accordingly.
