Dataset Cannot Refresh Due to Duplicate Connection String

October 13, 2020, 5:26 am

Hello!

 

I have a report that has recently hit an odd issue that I am unsure of how to resolve. I have a report that pulls from two different RDS databases and has been working for some time.

 

Recently I added a second SQL connection in the report connecting to one of the previously mentioned RDS databases. Once published however the data gateway attempts to map the datasources as shown below. 

dbabmg_0-1602591739044.png

 

Everything is green, but with this duplicate present I cannot click apply or select any gateway to use to refresh the report. I am not sure why it is treating the new query as a completely unique source with the exact same connection string?

 

I have verified the connection strings of the top and bottom sources are exactly the same, pointing to the same database within the RDS instance, and they even autodetect to the same source that is on the gateway, yet they are listed separately.

 

Any insight into what is going on would be great! I haven't had this issue on any other report over the past year or two.

 

Thanks everyone!

Automatic refresh of dataset fails: Connection is not open

Hi all,

 

we have set up a number of PBI datasets (about a dozen) on PBI Online that are scheduled to update on a daily basis. All these datasets refer to a Postgres database we host ourselves at a rented VM.

 

However, we receive error messages about these automatic updates sporadically, but with a too high frequency (multiple per week). These error messages say:

An error occurred while processing the data in the dataset.

Refresh failed:

<Report name> has failed to refresh.
Failure details: The last refresh attempt failed because of an internal service error. This is usually a transient issue. If you try again later and still see this message, contact support.

{"error":{"code":"ModelRefresh_ShortMessage_ProcessingError","pbi.error":{"code":"ModelRefresh_ShortMessage_ProcessingError","parameters":{},"details":[{"code":"Message","detail":{"type":1,"value":"An error happened while reading data from the provider: 'Connection is not open'"}}],"exceptionCulprit":1}}} Table: public <table_name>.

 

This happens for multiple different datasets and different tables in the Postgres database. How can we trace down these sporadic issues? Manual access to the database works fine. What does this error message tell us in detail, I could not find it on Google? Is there any way to turn on logs either on the PBI or the Postgres site?

 

Thanks in advance,

Christoph Thiede

Power BI Report Migration among Tenants (Multiple reports on same dataset)

Hi all,

 

I need to migrate Power BI reports from one tenant to another.

In the target Tenant there are couple of reports linked to same dataset. When I exported them as pbix from source tenant and imported in the target, each report has its own named Dataset.

 

So I have a few questions:

1) Can we merge those datasets?

2) If not, is there a way to change what dataset a report is looking at, so that only one dataset has to be refreshed for new data to show up in multiple reports?

3) Or is that a limitation of the report import functionality, that it will always create a new dataset ?

On 8/10 we activated the 365 audit logs to get het Power BI information.

This works, but we only get data from 8/10, not from the days before. Is that normal?

Can we get some older information?

 

The meaning is to make a usage report from last year.

 

kind regards,

Hi All,

I have a forecast on a line chart that looks great in Poer BI Desktop, but when I publish to the Service it disappears!

(forecast looks forward three data points and excludes the last real (incomplete) data point)

 

All very odd! Any Ideas?

Export Underlying Data: Table Visual vs Chart Visual

Hi,

 

I am exporting underlying data for a table visual and a chart visual. They have slightly different fields but it comes from the same underlying table. The problem I have is that the table visual does not give me all the columns as compared to the chart visual. There are some measures in both visuals as well but the table does not export it.

 

Is this a known problem or is it designed this way?

 

Thanks!

Data Model - references other queries or steps

Hi

 

I am having challenges with a data model once uploaded into the Service. The desktop works well and refreshes with no issues, but the error message when trying to refresh indicates a privacy issue:

 

• “references other queries or steps, so it may not directly access a data source. Please rebuild this data combination”

• “type":1,"value":"PrivacyError”

 

The data model pulls data from an onprem oracle database through a gateway and also an API. The API requires the oracle data to provide shipping and carrier information, which are passed to the API via a function.

 

I have followed the steps in the below to separate the data sources, still no joy

https://www.excelguru.ca/blog/2015/03/11/power-query-errors-please-rebuild-this-data-combination/

 

In the permissions of the desktop, I have set the permissions of the data sources to the same and tried all combinatons (None, Public, private and Organisational) and i keep having the same issue. 

 

 Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

 

Here's the full error message

how to update charts in power bi Object

October 13, 2020, 12:36 pm

Hi,
 
Is there a way to change the filter values for a visualization I already pinned to a dashboard without deleting and recreating it? For example, I have a bar graph that displays data from 2018 (it has newer data, but I set the slicer to display 2018 data). When I pinned the chart to the dashboard, it worked fine, but only with 2018 data.
 
The charts in the dashboard has a Focus mode (click on the 3 dots then Open in Focus mode). In focus mode, there is a filter menu to the right of the chart. I could change the filter criteria, but this criteria isn't making its way top to the dashboard (I change the year to be 2019, but the report is still displaying 2018 data. Is there a way to make SharePoint keep the new filter criteria ?
 
Sincerely,
 
Jason

oneTables on a report won't show when published

A report suddenly stopped showing tables with no apparent reason. The same report in the Desktop works fine, but after publishing tables content is not visible.

Clicking a table with the right button to "Shows as a table" works, that is the numbers are visible.

I tried Edge and Chrome with the same result.

Refresh works and all data is present in other visuals like charts. Tested on Premium and personal workspace with no success.

Did anyone incur in the same issue?

Thanks

Horizontal scroll bar not scrolling properly

October 13, 2020, 2:31 pm

In Power BI Desktop, I have a report with 3 different types of visualizations

  1. Line and Stacked column chart
  2. 100% Stacked column chart
  3. Stacked column chart

In Power BI Desktop using any of the three types of visualizations, I am able to grab the Horizontal scroll bar with my mouse and scroll to the left and right of the visualization normally.  However, after publishing the report to a Power BI Workspace, the scrolling behaviour stops behaving normally.  I am not able to grab the scoll bar with my mouse.  Instead, I have to click to the left or right side of the scroll bar to move it.  If I try to grab it with my mouse,  I get a selection area (see visualization below):

philcharbonneau_0-1602623946728.png

 

Things I tried:

  • Removed the visualizations with horizontal scroll bars and re-created them from scratch incase the issue with scrolling was being caused by an older version of an updated visualization, but it did not resolve the issue
  • Looked at switching from categorical to linear values on the x-axis but it only works for dates and numbers
  • Downloaded a working version of the report (where the scrollbars are working normally) to Power BI Desktop and re-published it into another workspace, and the issue appeared

Has there been an update to Power BI Desktop that is causing this new issue?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

 Hi,

I made graphs with forecast and it was working finely on my PBI service. However all forecasts were just gone a couple of days ago, after I updated some pages of my report. But that updates were not related to the forecast graphs.

I tried to update the report several times again, and clicked the reset button also many times, non of those solved this problem.

Is there any one who solved this problem earlier?

 

Please help me out...

However when I publish it to service and drag the slider, for whatever reason the numbers followed by NaN. We have another report that was broken due to this when user drags the slider to select different value.

Anyone else impacted by this? I am on the latest desktop version (Sep. release)

Hi Team, 

 

We have one requirement to select value in slicer from URL Query string parameter .  

 

as per current functionality , we can have URL query string paremeter which will apply page level filter on report and based on that values will be populated in Slicers and other visuals. 

 

Is there any workaround or any process available in which , from URL query parameter we can have slicer selection instead of applying page level filter. 

 

Thanks

How do people manage version control of PBI files when developing and testing on a live service?

October 14, 2020, 1:12 am

Unless I am mistaken, there appears to be no mechanism for managing versions in Power BI. I have a number of 'production' workspaces with dataflows, datasets, visuals, etc. which are in a constant state of change at the moment. 

 

To try to manage this without impacting the end-users, I have created a dev/test workspace to develop and test changes before releasing to the user community, however... 

 

This means that I need to manually change the data connections before I can copy anything across to the production workspaces.

 

Am I missing a trick, is there some wizzy utility I've not stumbled on which manages all this for me?

 

How do you all manage this?
