Hi Team,

This question was asked previously and wanted to know on the latest versions

I have used a direct query option to fetch data from the SQL server in to the Power BI.

Developed a report (2 pages) in the Power BI desktop and published to the Power BI Service.

I have used lot of calculated measures and applied transformations as well.

Questions:

Can I perform a auto refresh on the all the report pages on Power BI service for every 1 min.If so, please help me on this.
Can auto refresh will update the measures as well for every 1 min.?

Thanks

≪ Previous: Power BI Pro can auto refresh (every 1 min) all the report pages using Direct Query

When i am using the desktop version and the report version on Power Bi Online the Slicer on Page 1 filters the data on page 2 - cross report filtering is turned on to both pages in the report view.

But when i publish both pages to a power bi online dashboard the slicer on "Tile 1" will not interact with the reports on "Tile 2".

How can i make this work? can't see what i'm doing wrong ....please help

≪ Previous: Dashboard - How do i make a report on tile 2 respond to slicer on tile 1?

Hi everyone!

I have a python visual in my Power BI Desktop report, the script for this visual opens a python .pkl file to run a small model and with the results it generate the final plot (a simple plt.scatter) to be displayed in the report. Everything works fine in the PBI Desktop version on my local machine (the script opens the pkl file, runs the model and generates the plot in the PBI report), but when I upload the report to the server, for obvious reasons, the python script can't find the .pkl file required.

How can I make available the pkl file in the server so that the visual script can open it, generate the final plot and therefore the visual in the report?

I tried with a personal gateway but it seems it only works to access the .csv files for the data model in my local machine, but not the files required by a python script on a visual, or I don't know how to configure it properly.

Can you please help me in order to solve this?

Thanks in advance.!

Hi All, I need some guidance in understanding how to do this. I am completely new to Power BI and need to build a dashboard which refreshes every hour in a day. I built it and was made aware of certain restrictions in it and thus stumbled upon the real time dashboard built up in power bi.

I did set up a push dataset for the real time dashboard in service. Now my challenge over here is

It would be my team who would be updating the data every interval and thus would need some form kind of structure to enter the data in real time dataset
I can't use Microsoft forms to enter data into my dataset due to usage restrictions
If I eliminate the forms option, how do I get my team enter the live data for the dashboard.

Also, would like to know how do we actually push data into this dataset. I have the dataset up but not able to figure out a way to enter any data into it yet.

Can someone please help in this regards. Thanking in advance

Power BI Report with Dynamics 365 Supply Chain using Odata live refresh

July 19, 2020, 5:19 pm

≫ Next: Unable to test RLS in power bi service with Azure Analysis service

≪ Previous: Dataflow, invalid credentials

Good day!

We have created a Power BI Report which uses Odata connectivity to talk to Dynamics 365 Supply Chain (previously was part of Finance and Operations).

The problem starts after we publish the report to Power BI Service. Since this report's requirement is that we will need to put it on a big tv display in the production floor and we want to show how the machines and workers are tracking the activites in a LIVE manner.

The current limitation is that the standard refresh schedule is daily. I know that with power bi pro license we can set upto 8 stanard refreshes and with premium we can setup to 48 refreshes but premium is too costly. I also know about Direct Query, but i want to know is there any other way or workaround or tips and tricks so that with the existing OData connection i can still get the report refreshed every 5-10 mins.

Any idea or anyone has done similar thing without using premium license?

Cheers.

Dilip

≪ Previous: Power BI Report with Dynamics 365 Supply Chain using Odata live refresh

Hi All,

I had recently migrated my on-prem analysis service to azure analysis service.

I used to test RLS in my reports connected to on-prem analysis service by following steps:

1. Open "Manage Gateways" in power bi service.

2. Under Gateway Cluster, click on the data source configured for the report to access the cube.

3. Then click on Users tab, and click on "Map user name"

I used get the below where is can give my email in "Replace" and impersonation email in "With"

After this process, when i used to open the report i was viewing as impersonated email.

Since I moved to Azure analysis service, On Prem gateway will be available in azure portal directly.

And I dont need to configure the data source. I can publish the reports directly to my workspace and give access to users to view the reports.

To test RLS in power bi service connected to Azure analysis service, is there any way like above mentioned ?

Please help me out.

Hi all,

I'm new to using powerbi and wanted to know if there were ways of doing the following in an automated way through Msft Flow or other extensions to:

Append tables with similar columns
Remove similar rows from appended tables
Load / combine smaller CSV Files to a larger CSV file in Sharepoint with similar columns (To be done on a daily basis)

Challenges:

When I choose "Get Data" > Sharepoint Folder, it shows me all the files in the folder, and it is difficult to find the most recent file if done on a daily basis
I upload files manually, and append it to the larger CSV file through the Append Queries option, and choose "Remove Rows" > Remove Duplicates.
- Is my data integrity affected when doing this?
- Is there a faster way to do this?

Thank you all in advance!

Hi,

I have developed a custom connector and signed it to use it with Power BI and Power BI Online. Although I am able to use *.pqx connector in Power BI Desktop, it is not available in Power BI Online after I have configured my Data Gateway. But If I use unsigned connector *.mez, I am able to use it from Power BI Desktop and Power BI online as well. Is there something am I missing here with signed connector, hoping for any pointers here to resolve this. Thanks.

Hi,

I have 2 different dataflows that are in 2 separate workspaces (Company A and Company B) that connect to the same API (shown below) to get a list of Job Ids. Both reports are authenticated using Basic and they have their own username and password. They should not see each others data.

The issue I'm having is whatever are the latest credentials entered into the data source shown below will apply to both Companies e.g. if I update Company A's credentials this will also apply to Company B's credentials and I can see Company A data when looking at the dataflow for Company B.

Is there a way to keep this authentication separate from each other?

Hello PowerBI Colleagues,

I have recently updated the database of a Report. Unfortunately, the visuals don´t get updated. (This is how it looks like)

The database has fresh data.

I also updated the report using "Refresh".

I have observed that if I create a new tab I get visuals with updated data, and also if I create a new report and copy-paste the tales.

=> Is it any way to update the visual elements and Tables of the "old" Tabs without creating all of them every time?

I find it hard to believe that this is not possible in PowerBI

I will strongly appreciate your Feedback

Kindly yours

Hello Guys,

I am a data analyst and I have been using powerBI to create dashboards that I have been copying and pasting to powerpoint as reports for management and other stakeholders for quite sometime now. Finally, my company is ready to move forward with the purchase of powerBi Pro Licences so that we can use them inhouse. We are a startup tech company and our major pain point is that we want to be able to embed interactive powerBI dashboards for end users of our application to view and interact with. Now, I have seen different posts where they have talked about pricing but it has not been concise enough for me.

We don't want to go for the powerBI premium option. We want to pay for about 10 users (for a start) and then work our way up as the need arises, my question is this: can we still use powerBI embedded with powerBI Pro Licenses only? If so, can anyone be kind enough to provide a (rough) break down of all possible costs associated with this feature so that I can advise my company accordingly?

Please get back to me in time. This is an urgent inquiry. Thank you.
