MariaDB Connection with Power BI app

Hello all!

 

I've been trying to use the ODBC connector while creating Dataflows the same way I used to create the connection with ODBC in desktop, but I don't seem to find any connection string to MySQL database or MariaDB database in google...

 

Does anyone knows if the ODBC connector in the web app supports this type of connection?

 

Thanks in advance!

Data Refresh issue

Hello,

 

I have a powerbi desktop file that includes multiple SQL queries to different servers, and all executes/refreshes fine, but when I publish to PowerBI.com, it will not refresh and I get the following error. Since it is flagged as a privacy error, I have ensured my privacy settings in both the desktop (set to ignore) and the the pbi.com gateway (privacy level set to "None") are good. But I'm still getting this error. Any thoughts why?

Calculated Column calculates correctly in Desktop, but not in Web

We have a calculated column that determines a sales rep based on a variety of data. The column calculates as expected in the desktop app, but does not calculate correctly in the web version or in excel data extracts. We cleared cache in the desktop app and republised the dataset and that resolved the issue, however as soon as we close the desktop app, the issue reappears. Has anyone ran into this issue before or have an idea on how to permanently resolve it?

Automatic Refresh with Python Script

I published a dataset with a Python script that iterates over rows to generate new columns.

 

I get the following message in the dataset's settings after it's published:

 

You can't schedule refresh for this dataset because the following data sources currently don't support refresh:

  • Data source for Query1

When I click on "Discover Data Sources", I get the next message:

 

Unable to determine the data source due to old gateway version. Please update the gateway to 2020 June release or later. Details: .

  • Data source for Query1

However, I am using the latest on-premises gateway version (October 2020).

 

Can anyone help me make this dataset eligible for automatic refresh?

A dataset on the service keeps turning off scheduled refresh without notification, or failed refreshes causing it, as well as any other clear cause.

 

Is anyone experiencing the same?

Using RelativePath in base URL for scheduled refresh

October 15, 2020, 3:46 pm

Hello Power BI Community,

 

I am trying to combine the tables from each of the following with different domain names but similar data:

 

www.a.com/foo/table/

www.b.com/foot/table/

www.c.com/foo/table/

 

I know scheduled refresh does not work with dynamic URLs, so using a parameter:

Source = Web.BrowserContents("https://www." & DomainNameParameter & ".com/foo/table/") will not allow me to do a scheduled refresh.

 

I've seen good solutions to this when modifying anything after the base URL with RelativePath as explained in this post by Chris Webb. But the RelativePath workaround only works after the base URL.

 

So something like:

 

Source = Web.BrowserContents("https://www/.", [RelativePath = DomainName & ".com/foo/table/"])

 

doesn't work, correct? 

 

Is there some approach I can use in order to use a dynamic URL in the base URL, or am I stuck having to refresh this dataset manually? 😞

 

Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Access clients PowerBI datasets to create Paginated Reports

Hi,


I am an independant consultant, new'ish to PowerBI, and need some advice on how to define what 'PowerBI Service to connect to within the new 'Power BI Report Builder' for creating paginated reports.

 

I have my own:

  • Microsot 365 Business licence/account
  • PowerBI Pro licence
  • domain ("@mydomain" for example)
  • and have a number of workspaces in my PowerBI service.

 

With my client:

  • I am an external guest using my own @mydomain credentials
  • I am an admin to their PowerBI Service/Tenant/Environment. So have full admin rights.

 

My question is - how do I connect to my clients workspaces/datasets to create a pagniated report, using PowerBI Report Builder?

 

Currently,  If i start not signed into 'Power BI Report Builder' for simplicity, and select New > Power BI Dataset Connection I'm prompted for credentials to login. So i enter my @mydomain credentials which of course only then shows me datasets within my own PowerBI Service.

img2.jpg

I have tried also to download the .RDL against a dataset from my clients PowerBI Service, however on trying to connect to this and open the 'Querry Designer' it gives me an "Unable to connect". (Note - i am logged into PowerBI Report Builder at this point)

 

img3.jpg

 

How do i get PowerBI Report Builder to look at my clients datasets, or direct which PowerBI Service to login to?

 

Thanks in advance for you help.

Power BI Premium - Subscribe Others to email for RLS/live connection reports/dashboards

Hi All,

 

Based on my reading so far on power bi forums/power bi documentation, my understanding is report developer can not subscribe other users to reports/dashboards created with RLS/live connections for power bi pro license.

 

But what I am not clear on is - if we upgrade to power BI premium, will it allow me as report developer to subscribe other users to reports/dashboards created with RLS/live connections ? If yes, will that subscription needs to be also created page by page or can we create just one subscription and power bi can send one email with PPT/excel/PDF for all the tabs in report? 

 

Thank you for your help,

 

Regards,

Nilima

I'm losing Excel cell word wrapping in Dashboard tiles

I've uploaded an Excel file to PBI Service and created a simple dashboard consisting of a pinned group of cells.

The problem is the cells in the source are formatted with word wrapping but when I create a dashboard tile that formatting disappears so the text runs into the adjacent columns.

Any ideas how I can allow the dashboard tile to keep text wrap formatting?

 

E.g. This is what the workbook looks like in PBI Service. Note cell A2 has word wrapping:

Report filters not respected in SharePoint web part

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to create a SharePoint showing the same report but with different filters to show different data. The issue is, even though the URL I'm using for each web part is different (reflecting the different filters), it seems that none of the filters are being respected. Each report loads up with no filters.

 

Is what I'm looking to do a supported scenario? If so, can you please share docs or a step-by-step so I can see where I'm going wrong? It seems straightforward so I'm not sure what I could be missing.

 

Thank you!

other people can't open my report

Hey there Community,

 

I've made a report where people can find our products in a simple power bi report and it's working like a charm.

The problem is other people can't open it. They get the pop up saying they don't have access to the report.

I've tried some things trying to bypass this issue like just sharing the report with Power BI or setting it in Microsoft Teams.

i've got a Power BI pro license if that is needed to be known.

And finally the report needs to be seen by at least 20+ people so something like teams would seem ideal since they can just open it when they join the group.

 

Hope someone could help me.

End user fetching data from Hana??

key date.jpgHi all,
 
Do you know how, or even if it's possible, to give the option to an end-user to pull data from Hana using Power BI Service/Apps?
 
The scenario:
  • I am fetching the data from a Hana view using a key date. That means I am getting the data that I need just for that specific date. With this data, I create a dashboard.
 
  • I publish the dashboard to Power BI Service and from there I share it with an end-user.
  • now the end-user wants to see the data for another day just to compare the data.
 
My question is, how an end-user can change the date using a prompt and to pull the data from Hana for a previous date.

On-premises data gateway / MS Azure Cloud Server

Hello everyone,

 

I'm new to the community and this is my first thread, so forgive me if I missed the section. I couldn't find information that I need about On-premises data gateway, both Standard and Personal, so I guess I'll ask the questions here.

 

If I understood it right, both Standard and Personal gateway MUST be installed on a virtual machine that runs 24/7? Our company currently does not own Premium license, yet only Pro. Our plan is to get a Microsoft Azure Cloud Server and install the gateway there so our scheduled refresh would work fine without creator's intervention. Btw, we have couple of reports connected to SAP BW, SQL DB, and such.

 

It this scenarion possible? And can this server/gateway be used by multiple accounts, beside my own?

 

Thank you very much.

PowerBI Pro connection to SSAS on premise fails

Hi guys

 

I am getting this error:

 

The connection to the Analysis Services instance timed out or was lost. Ensure that the server and the 'SQL Browser' service are running.

 

 

I have tried:

  • Confirmed that SQL browser is running on the VM where I want to connect to
  • Local Active Directory - Joined the VM from where SSAS is hosted on the domain which is the same as Azure AD
  • Opened ports on VM for SQL browser and SSAS
  • Gave SSAS a dedicated port on the VM to ensure it is not dynamically changing fwiw
  • Made SQL brower service log in using my domain account instead of default service account
  • Mapped Users on PowerBI service connection setting under the gateway settings to ensure efective username = DOMAIN\Username (confirmed in gateway logs that the name is pulling throug and not in format myname@domain.xyz)
  • even tried opening ports on the router temporaritly although that should not be required since normal SQL connections seem to work
  • I have specifically seen this video from Guy in a Cube: 

    https://youtu.be/Qb5EEjkHoLg (Authentication with AS live connections in Power BI)

I feel like I am runnig around chasing my tail.  What other checks could I have missed?

 

Thanks guys!
