Given Microsoft is deprecating the previous method of exporting a SQL DB they have put up a suggested example here:
$subscriptionId = "YOUR AZURE SUBSCRIPTION ID"
Login-AzureRmAccount
Set-AzureRmContext -SubscriptionId $subscriptionId
# Database to export
$DatabaseName = "DATABASE-NAME"
$ResourceGroupName = "RESOURCE-GROUP-NAME"
$ServerName = "SERVER-NAME"
$serverAdmin = "ADMIN-NAME"
$serverPassword = "ADMIN-PASSWORD"
$securePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String $serverPassword -AsPlainText -Force
$creds = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $serverAdmin, $securePassword
# Generate a unique filename for the BACPAC
$bacpacFilename = $DatabaseName + (Get-Date).ToString("yyyyMMddHHmm") + ".bacpac"
# Storage account info for the BACPAC
$BaseStorageUri = "https://STORAGE-NAME.blob.core.windows.net/BLOB-CONTAINER-NAME/"
$BacpacUri = $BaseStorageUri + $bacpacFilename
$StorageKeytype = "StorageAccessKey"
$StorageKey = "YOUR STORAGE KEY"
$exportRequest = New-AzureRmSqlDatabaseExport -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -ServerName $ServerName `
-DatabaseName $DatabaseName -StorageKeytype $StorageKeytype -StorageKey $StorageKey -StorageUri $BacpacUri `
-AdministratorLogin $creds.UserName -AdministratorLoginPassword $creds.Password
$exportRequest
# Check status of the export
Get-AzureRmSqlDatabaseImportExportStatus -OperationStatusLink $exportRequest.OperationStatusLink
I have filled in all the credentials as suggested in their example and I am getting this error:
New-AzureRmSqlDatabaseExport : NotFound: Entity not found to invoke export
At C:\Users\bob\Desktop\DBBackupScript.ps1:47 char:18
+ ... rtRequest = New-AzureRmSqlDatabaseExport -ResourceGroupName $Resource ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : CloseError: (:) [New-AzureRmSqlDatabaseExport], CloudException

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?
Connect to your SQL Azure database that you want to copy locally using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Export your database to a local . bacpac file. Follow steps in wizard and finish the process.
Connect Excel and load data To connect Excel to a database in SQL Database, open Excel and then create a new workbook or open an existing Excel workbook. In the menu bar at the top of the page, select the Data tab, select Get Data, select From Azure, and then select From Azure SQL Database.
It appears that the database name is case sensitive when using az sql db export. Correcting the casing on the database name and resource group solved this issue in my case.
