Incremental refresh and dimension table surrogate keys

August 1, 2021, 2:14 pm
$

Hello,  I need to know if the Power BI dataflow incremental refresh feature is able to help with this scenario.  I am building a star schema with a dimension table called Client.  The Client table grows as new clients sign up for our service.  Since it's a dimension table, I want to create a surrogate key for each Client row.  I would like to use the PBI dataflow Incremental Refresh feature to only add the new Client rows to the Client dimension table.  What I don't understand is if/how the surrogate key column will be managed with Incremental Refresh.  I can mark the surrogate key column to be the primary key in PBI.  Does that mean it will auto-increment the surrogate key for the new rows?  I don't want the surrogate keys for the existing rows to change since I'd then have to reprocess all of the fact tables.  Using previous ETL tools, I've handled this by creating an auto-incrementing, primary key column in a data warehouse  and simply inserted the new rows into the dimension table.  Is this what Incremental Refresh does behind the scenes?  Or is it not meant to handle this case.

 

Any insight you can provide would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Ed

Hi All,

 

Sometimes when a user clicks on the direct link to our Power BI published app it opens up to Power BI's website... not the app.

Viewing separate Power BI Organisations Workspaces from One login (Or merging data from Many Org)

Hi All,

 

I have 3 Seperate companies with 3 seperate Office 365 organisations. I collect data from each using their respective On-Premise gateways that can be seen by users of their respective companies.

 

For example:

 

User at AAA.com can see the data for AAA.com via the AAA.com On-Premises Gateway

User at BBB.com can see the data for BBB.com via the BBB.com On-Premises Gateway

User at CCC.com can see the data for CCC.com via the CCC.com On-Premises Gateway

 

I'd like for a User (The CEO etc) at AAA.com to be able to see AAA.com, BBB.com and CCC.com also. The data sets don't have to be Merged (this would be nice at a later date), just the workspaces be visible on PowerBI.com. At present this requires 3 seperate logins to view.

 

Also, Is it possible for On-Premises Gateways to be accessable to more than one organisation? say the on-premises gateway for BBB.com being accessable from the AAA.com PowerBI.com (assuming we would need to provide BBB.com credentials somehow). Can an on-premises gateway feed more that one organisation in PowerBI.com?

 

Cheers

Josh

Dataflow incremental load behaviour

Hello,

I am working on a requirement to snapshot some data ona weekly basis for Power BI usage.

I tried a solution using Incremental load I have a query with the following logic:

Select ItemCategory, Quantity, GetDate() as SnapshotDate

From MyTable

And I then set incremental loading in my flow baed on the SnapshotDate

-Storing 10 years of data

-Refreshing only last day.

 

My understanding was that when refreshing this dataflow every few days, the previously extracted data would not be affected (as it is out of the date range, and data would be appended.

What am I missing there ? I could not find in-depths explaination on Incremental refresh that could explain this.

Hi, I am managing Power BI dataset and report using power shell. I have a requirement that publish pre-built dataset and reports to power BI service for differnt customer (different azure tenant/different email domain). What I normally do is, I create a report from a published dataset and then publish the report to service. This is working fine. But the problem is, lets say, I have deleted the the workspace and then publish the dataset and report in a new workspace. In this case dataset get published without any issue. But reports do not get published. Same problem faced if i try to publish the report in different Azure tenant. In short, the report always try to find the workspace and dataset from which it was created and report do not get published published if the workspace is deleted, enen if the dataset available the the new workspace where I want to publish the report.  Is there any way to publish a pre-built report file before connecting it to a dataset first?

Thanks.

Saj.

Hi All,

I'm getting this issue please kindly guide me through.

 

Column 'Email' in Table 'Weekly Engagement Survey (Weeks 1-8)' contains a duplicate value and this is not allowed for columns on the one side of a many-to-one relationship or for columns that are used as the primary key of a table.

 

Thank you.

Hello community!

 

I have created a report based on a locally saved Excel file (A) and now published on to the service.

 

On the Longer run.. there will be different excel files say B, C, D, ... so on.. 

All the columns are going to remain the same for all of the excel files. 

 

Now I want to empower others in my team to just change the data source on PBI servise so that the report is based on the changed data source..

How can I do that?

 

Thanks

Test as role in Service result to 401 error

Hello Experts,

 

Just recently we are seeing weird behaviour on Power BI Service. It used to works just fine but recently whenever we would like to validate the RLS of a user on our Dynamic RLS it doesn't show properly and gives visual error as a result instead.

 

*View as role in PowerBI Desktop works fine, and user ultimately can see the visual and data properly despite 'Test as role' showing error.

 

zuheirashraf17_1-1627897175864.png

 

 

Further information who knows it might be useful;

- RLS is defined dynamically using UserPrincipleName() and AcessKey table

- User were added to AD group which later used to provide access to Report/Dataset/Security 

- User can see the report just fine despite showing otherwise in 'Test as role'

 

Do let me know if further information is required

 

Regards,

Zuheir

Power BI App permissions

Hello, I have recently had an issue with the permission groups. Some users don't have access to the app even though they are in a group that has permission. Once I've added their specific e-mail they do receive access, which is very odd. I currently only have 10 groups or so in my permissions set, I do not exceed the maximum. I've tried not using nested groups (groups within groups) but this didn't help the situation either.

 

Edit: To add, it's set on a premium capacity so free users can access it.

Power BI Service Data Refresh issues

Hello,

 

I recently started facing data refresh failure in Power BI service when I am not logged into my computer. The data source is SQL Server. I am able to connect with the SQL server in ADF and SSMS, the refresh works if I logged into my computer. But during the weekend or holiday, the following error is thrown:

 

"Processing error: Microsoft SQL: A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The wait operation timed out.)
Cluster URI: WABI-SOUTH-EAST-ASIA-redirect.analysis.windows.net"


Is there any known issue going on that stops data refresh?

PowerBI Service - Refreshing the data via Service displays extra zeros

Hello everyone! I have an issue regarding refreshing the data via PowerBI service. I have built a report for a client, getting the data via Azure Blob Storage. The data in Power BI desktop displays correctly, please check below.

 

Danut67_0-1627914232440.png

 

However, the data once it is refreshed in the Service, it displays extra zeros, please find a screenshot below.

 

Danut67_1-1627914262572.png

Does anyone know how I can solve this issue? I have tried changing the data type/format , changing the data source ( switching to csv / json files) but with no success. Moreover, I find it weird that some whole number columns such as clicks and visits are displaying correctly in the service while other whole number columns are displaying incorrectly e.g. deliveries. 

 

I am looking forward to hearing your suggestions and solutions. Thank you and have a great day!

Refresh schedule for report

August 2, 2021, 7:49 am

Hi all,

 

I have a .pbix file on my local pc which uses a connector to Exact Online in order to retrieve sales information.

I've shared this .pbix file to our workspace and with multiple colleagues. Currently I have to refresh my .pbix file in order to update the report in the workspace.

 

Is there a way to automate this? I'd like to schedule a refresh or something like that. But is there a way to do that instead of opening the file and refreshing it manually? Or would it be reccommended to place the file on a server and create a task schedule which opens the file and refreshes it..

 

Thanks in advance.

Error with refresh triggered by SharePoint list modification

I have a flow configured that refreshes a dataset in a premium instance any time an item on a SharePoint list is modified. The flow component is working correctly, but I'm getting an error in the Power BI service and the data is not actually refreshing. If I refresh manually then it does work without issues. I'm not the owner of the SharePoint site, but I am able to create, modify or delete items on the SharePoint list. I'm not certain what is causing this issue or how to fix it?
