Premium Capacity Dataset Evictions
Hi Guys,
Lately we ave been observing a lot of dataset evictions in premium capacity. What could be the reason for this?
I thought due to memory pressure the evictions are happening and therefore removed large size dataset from the Premium Capacity.
The memory utilization is not more than 50% of available and still the evictions are happening.
This wasn't the case few weeks back.
Not sure what wrong has happened which is causing the evictions.
The refreshes are also scattered and does not create any pressure at any point of time.
Can somebody please suggest on this.

Usage metrics report
Hi,
I have one question: the new usage metric report - why cannot be shared with users anymore?
Also, when the user presses the View usage metrics report button what is appearing is the old look, but with no data, even though it has selected the new look.
Do you know any workaround so that the user can access this report? I really need this option to be available.
Thank you!

How to validate source of a report?
Hello everyone,
let's assume someone is new to the company and does not know where reports are uploaded/published from.
If the file is from OneDrive, the hourly refresh is possible, this should not be a selectable option when it is published via PBI Deskotp for example. Is there somethinh within the file settings or somewhere else where to check this out? Additonally, what is happening if someone is publishing a file called like one that is uploaded via OneDrive? The OneDrive refresh should be not possible anymore, right? -> as the connection should be cut.
Thanks in advance!

Data gateway for multiple users
I have the following situation:
User A publishes a Power BI desktop model (model_A) that pulls data from SQL Server X
User B publishes a Power BI desktop model (model_B) that pulls data from SQL Server X
in order to enable Scheduled Refresh, a Data Gateway is needed. A few questions:
1. Do you need just one Data Gateway?
2. Do you Download the Power BI Gateway standard mode and install it on the computer with the SQL Server X?
3. Does it matter whose e-mail address the Gateway is under?
4. Do you need to add users e-mail addresses to the Gateway?
Thanks for any help.

Power BI python script env change worked for PowerBI Desktop but not work for app.powerbi.com
Hi, I used python script as data source. At first, it gave errors, i researched and find that it is beacuse of python version. So I loaded older version of python then set the new directory as home directory and it worked on my local.
After that, I uploaded my report to app.powerbi.com, then I wanted to schedule refresh. However, during editing credentials it gives error because of it does not use my new home directory, it still tries to run the code on the previous home directory and gives the same error when I get before setting new environment.
the error starts with "Failed to update data source credentials: ADO.NET: Python script error. C:\Users\Ertu\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\numpy\__init__.py:140:" . Address mentioned in the error is old home directory.
How can I solve this?
Thank you.

Power BI data Cleaning verify data point value has increased over last data point.
I have multiple data points that are totalized values, at times there is times a data is missed. I am trying to find a way to verify that each data point is greater than the one prior and then if missing data point is found, the data point is corrected by taking the next good reading and the prior good reading and then dividing the value by the number of missed points to get the change each data point and adding this to the prior good point to fill in the missing data. There is 3 data fields that would have to be used in the data point classification. Date, name and value. There are multiple Names in the name column.
I have been looking at R and the Library MICE to do this, but cannot figure it out.

Connection closed when using the Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod to refresh dataset
We have a PowerShell script that uses the "Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod" to force a dataset to refresh. The script has been working without issues for the past several months. For the last week and a half, we have started receiving the error stating the connection was closed by the host. At first it was very random but then in the last couple of days, the error is occurring consistently.
We pass in the workspace GUID, dataset GUID, and the file path that stores the password for the user.
I have included a portion of our script (it uses parameters to pass in the workspace GUID, dataset GUID, and the file path that stores the password for the user) and the full error message below.
Does anyone have any insights as to what the issue could be?
Thanks,

Data Source Credential Error - Freshdesk API - Power BI Service
We have a PBI report that is connected to the Freshdesk API and uses Basic Authentication. The report works great when refreshing locally from PBI desktop; however, we get an error when trying to set up the Data Source Credentials in the Power BI Service.
Here is a snippet from the PBI desktop file that is refreshing properly:
The function that pulls from the API is using RelativePath and populating default parameters for the call.
Any help on resolving this error would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Dynamic Level Security - Confusing with the process
Im currently working on Dynamic Security.
It all makes sense in desktop. You go to Security - Manage roles
and against the table with your email address in it create for example [EmailAddress] = USERPRINCIPALNAME()
All great because you only need to set one rule up
However when you publish into Service, You need to go to settings - Security and then basically, individually add every email into members.
This is obviously very time consuming, especially when you have hundreds of users and people are leaving and joining all the time.
I thought dynamic security was supposed to stop you having to individually add email addresses?
