    In Power BI service, when downloading a Dataset, an option should be available to download without data. Sometimes only a small change needs to be applied in the Dataset but we have to wait a long time for Dataset to download due to size of data.

    This is very crucial. And I agree, this is not a feature infact, its a bug. If we are able to download reports pointing to SSAS in live connection, then why not make this available for reports pointing to incremental load Datasets in LIVE CONNECTION?

    This seems more like a service bug because the PBIX being downloaded does not actually have incremental refresh enabled, it shouldn't be treated as a feature request.
