All of a sudden I'm unable to connect to dataflows from within Power BI desktop that I was successfully connected to yesterday. I keep receiving an error that the credentials cannot be authenticated. I have tried clearing both the global and local permissions for the dataflow and reconnecting without any luck. Has anyone encountered this before?
Hello Everyone!
I'm new to Power BI seeking your advise on a query which I have.
For context Below is the flow which I'm currently following.
1. GET the data from an API which comes in an JSON format.
2. Currently i'm PreProcessing the data via a python script outside of Power BI which creates one main files and 4 different files from the json output which I get from the API and data is saved as csv files on my local drive.
3. Built the Power BI report based on the processed data saved on my local drive.
4. I've published the report from my desktop to the Power BI Service.
Now the query which I have is I need to refresh the dataset everyday which will have new entries and also exsisting enries might have a modification. That being said I cannot refresh the complete dataset I need to append the new entries and update the exsisting entries if there are any modification.
My idea was to write a python script and run it on power bi which has a schedule refresh option which can run everyday for step 1 and 2. But I'm kind of confused as to how do I append the data to the current dataset instead of updating the entire dataset which is huge and time consuming and not ideal. If it was just one "Sheet/Dataset" that wouldnt be a problem because I think i can first create the base dataset and once the base dataset is ready I can write another python script which keeps appending the data to the dataset. But since the data is in JSON format everytime I need to process it to create five different files and update/append on each files seperately from just one main dataset(hope that makes sense).
How would you tackle this? How would I automate the process?
So my question is, is there a better way of doing this without the help of any other apps by just using powerbi service?
Not sure what kind of options does Premium offer but is it possible in Power BI premium? Or is there any other apps which can help me acheive this from the Microsoft catalogue of apps? if yes please advise how would the flow look like?
Thanks in advance.
I used a dual chart(bar and line).
In PBI desktop legend shows correct color but when publishing in service it became black but interaction remains the same.
Fail Pass color became black.
Can anyone help with this?
Hi All,
Created a report in PBI Desktop with Oracle db as source, direct query successfully. Created data source in PBI Service and tested successfully. When i published the report and opened the report in PBI Service, it is blank. Where is the issue? Does the DS Name need to the be the same in PBI Desktop and PBI Service? Please advice.
Thanks
power bi spark connector performance is extremely slow. it is taking 4 to 5 hours to process 6 gigs azure databricks delta tables into power bi premium nodes (p3). Both power bi premium capacity and azure databricks workspace are in same azure data center. Even after adjusting maxresultset and batch size performance is poor. I exported the delta tables into CSV files on ADLS Gen2 and was able to process it in 3X faster. What is wrong with power bi spark connector, we heard from databricks team that microsoft is working on the fix. Any updates / workarounds?
I used a Dial guage in my dashboard from Appsource. It is still available in my PBIX but not visible in the published report.
Any guidance to address this issue is much appreciated.
TIA

I am able to view this file on my phone, and in the web browser form of Power BI without an error message. I just run into this issue when viewing on Teams. This happened about a week ago, prior to that I could view this report perfectly in Teams. Im no expert on PowerBI, particularly as it relates to showing previews in teams.
I have a Dataflow that uses "each [Date] > Date.AddDays(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),-60" to filter on the last 60 days. I'd like to create a 2nd Dataflow that does the same thing, except for Prior Year.
Dataflow #1: 5/16/2020 - 7/14/2020 (Working)
Dataflow #2: 5/18-2019 - 7/16/2019 (Need Help)
I tried adding a column to mark every day between 365 days ago and 425 days ago:
if [Date] > Date.AddDays(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),-425) and [Date] < Date.AddDays(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),-365) then 1 else 0
It doesn't error until I filter on 1. By the way, this is Google API, which seems to hate many things. The error: "dataformat.error: we can't report a single value for this dimension as it represents a rollup of multiple values whose details are not available. details (other)"
Any other ways to accomplish this?
Thanks!

Hello all,
I have a report that uses a dataset that imports data from an Excel file. Frequently I will manually refresh this dataset and find that the report is still displaying the old data. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it does not. I thought it might be that if someone was in the Excel file that would cause the data to not refresh, but I tested this and that isn't the problem. It seems as though if I close my browser and go back in then the report will show the correct data - I have not thoroughly tested this as yet. We have premium service, but this particular workspace is not taking advantage of that.
Does anyone know why I am experiencing this behavior and the fix?
Thank you,
Kirt
Hello -
I am having a new issue with setting up a refresh that I have never seen before. I just published a new workbook and when I go to schedule the refresh, I am seeing the following:
All data sources are showing the green check, all are mapped to the correct gateway source, the use data gateway is on, yet the radio button in blue I cannot select.
I have these sources connected to various other datasets that refresh on a scheduled basis with no issue. This particual workbook has no merges, no appends, no sources from the web and no files in it. All data sources are tables from SQL data warehouses.
Any ideas on what could be going wrong here?

I'm having trouble connecting any table from any access:
The gateway is working for reports that do not have access
The file mapping on the gateway works and says it has a "connected" status
Every update displays this error
I already tested with a gateway installed on another machine but has the same problem

Hello!
Im having a problem loading a ArcGIS reference layer onto the PowerBI map. It's weird because some layers are being applied with no problem, while others cannot. These reference layers are from my organization as well. Please let me know your thoughts and if there is anything I should try. Thanks!
Good morning how are you?
I am having trouble being able to link a data source through a gateway to be able to do automated data updates, I have installed a standard gateway and when creating it in the power bi service it gives me an error, the source is DBF files in my local repository, the server where I have all the databases in DBF. Any kind of help would be highly appreciated, as there is very little power bi and DBF information on the web.
here attach 2 images with the information on how I want to configure the origin of the data and the error that appears when confirming it.
Thank you very much,
Regards.

Hi,
I want to know how do I update reports in published PowerBi app or does it happen automatically?
I have created a report using Salesforce report as dataset. The report is not that complicated and not much happening onto it, just using PowerBI to embed SF report on a private webpage where users can download in excel.
Any help appriciated.
Thanks.

Hi, All.
We will be migrating our SP in new tenant including the PWA. Is it possible to export the reports and dashboards so I don't have to re-create them when using the PWA content pack in the new tenant in Power BI?
Download pbix copy is greyed out as this is not available when using content packs.
Thank you!
