Audit Log - Utilization vs Actual Inventory

July 13, 2017, 9:40 am
$

Folks, I have access to the Audit log that allows me to track the operations taking place tied to Power BI (e.g. View Report, Create Report, Delete Report, CreateDashboard, etc).   What I do not have is an understanding of my object inventory.  I need to know names and counts of which reports/dashboards/groups are active AND available at a given point in time.  

 

For example, if in my audit file, there is activity showing a creation of a report, view of that report and then deletion of that report, that report no longer "exists".  Same would be true for other objects.  

 

I need to be able to capture this information to audit the reports/dashboards/groups/etc population for clean up purposes.    My thoughts are that we would need to perform "housekeeping" on our reports/dashboards/groups population.  Also, capture of the active reports/dashboards/groups will provide insight into user adoption.

 

Does anyone know what (audit) log I should be looking at or how to read the UnifiedAudit log to capture population of active reports/dashboards/groups/etc???

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

 

I am sure my issue has a simple solution, but I haven't found it yet.

I have published reports online and find that the report opens in a certain tab/page. Not always the first tab.

I want the report to start at the first page.

How do I change this?

 

Thank you for the help,

 

Kind Regards,

Robbert

Need automatic scrolling for report

Hello, 

 

I am working on a project where I need to project Power BI reports on a big screen and have the reports scroll automatically (preferably every 5 minutes). For instance if we have 3 reports, I'd like in the first 5 minutes for Report 1 to be projected, the second 5 minutes for Report 2 to be shown, and the third 5-minute interval for Report 3, and the fourth 5-minute interval to go back to Report 1. I'd like to hear previous approaches for achieving this functionality. Have community members faced this challenge before?

Hello,

 

I am using the R script visual to plot a scatterplot of latitude and longitude on a floor plan.  The floor plan is just a jpg in the background.  The jpg is stored locally.  It appears the power bi service can't see it.  Where can I put it so it can see it for me and other users that have access to the report on powerbi.com

 

See attached for Error msg and also screenshot of the functioning desktop version.

lock filter/highlight choices in visuals?

July 14, 2017, 2:30 pm

Hi all,

 

Is there any way to lock the filtering/highlighting interactions in my visuals?

 

Example: I have three tiles (gender donut, sales volume by service bar chart, customer location map). Let's say I want to filter all tiles by females who participated in Service X. If I click the Service X bar in the bar chart, all tiles filter relative to that. I can also filter all tiles relative to the gender donut by clicking the female half. However, I can't filter the page relative to both - the second click always resets the first.

 

I know I could utilize more slicers, which do lock, but they're not very visually engaging and I'd like that functionality out of the more appealing tiles. Any recomendations are appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Hello,

 

I want to use API to load power bi dashboards to my web application. I need to use filter to show different report to different visitors. Since my whole dataset is very big, I don't wanna load the whole dataset in the application. I am wondering if the filter function filters the original dataset and then load to web applicaiton?? Or it loads the whole dataset first then do the filter?

Manual or scheduled refresh failing to Not a legal OleAut date - how to trace further?

Hi all

 

I've got a large data set with mutliple data sources and hundreds of thousands of rows in a working report/dashboard deployed to the app/service. Refreshing all queries in Desktop works fine. Scheduled or manual refreshes in the Service tier fail with a Not a legal OleAut date error.

 

I've read from this forum that it most likely is being caused by bad data in a date column somewhere (to which I have probably 40 places to look).  How can I trace this error further and see exactly where it is failing?

 

Thanks in advance. Here's the error--

When I go to Schedule Refresh, I'm getting this message:

 

1.3.png

 

 

 

But the problem is, I do have a gateway installed for the data sources. Here it is:

2.png

I've inputted the exact same credentials (for the server name, database and user name) here as I put in my Power BI desktop file (I've even ensured the server and database name are case-perfect - as well as the username and password of course):

3.png

 

I've also made sure that the user named under "This dataset has been configured by" is listed under the Users section of the Gateway:

 

Schedule Refresh page:

Users page of Manage Gateways:

I've ensured the SQL Server user has read permissions to the data source in SQL Server:

Another error it comes up with on Schedule Refresh, is the following:

4.png

 

When I click on 'Edit Credentials' the credentials are all the same as the data gateway:

 

5.png

 

 

 

I have tried renaming the Power BI file, and publishing it again. I have tried recreating the data source. It still comes up with this message. I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but I cannot figure it out. Could the Power BI file be corrupt perhaps?

 

The gateway works fine for other reports/data sources.

 

Could it be the web data source that's causing it? I do have a single web source in the data source list. This is the only difference I can see between this report and other reports. The report was working with the credentials above before I added this source.

Publishing App: how to preserve hyperlinks to reports?

When I setup most of my dashboards I often include a navigation square that jas hyperlinks directly to PBI reports.

However, how is this handled when you publish an app?

The dashboard is setup in your team workspace for the app and you set your hyperlinks but then when you publish... Won't those links still point back to the team workspace report not the reports that are now in the published app?
