Description

Hi,

Get-PowerBIReport does not make difference between RDL and PBIX files.
When retrieving a report with Get-PowerBIReport we need the file type because we can not decide if it's a pbix or a RDL file.

An update with a new "Filetype" property will be appreciated.

Regards,
Denis

Research direction

Start at the Get-PowerBIReport entry point and trace how retrieved reports are represented before they are returned. The work is done when the result exposes a Filetype property that distinguishes PBIX from RDL reports; the issue does not name implementation files or tests.
