Connecting VSTS Project to Power BI does not display the reports for Testcases. Also the work items and types does not include Test Plan, Test Suite and Test cases.

Pleae suggest as how can we create dashboard and Reports for Testcases and Test exceution results.

Hi Guys,

For some reason, the new Matrix table isn't expanding horizontally like it used to do 

when clicking on the below highlighted, am getting the data expanded vertically. 

Any idea how to get the old look of Matrix table like the below?

Thanks,

Majd

I can connect successfully using PBI Desktop, but when I try to add the datasource to our On-Premise gateway it fails.

Logging on to the machine hosting the gateway, I can successfully use the URL to access the spreadsheet in a browser.

The error that is returned is Invalid credentials. Now, I know I'm putting in the right password, But what format should the username be? name@company.com, company\name, or just name?

Looking at the logfile for the gateway, I see the following:

We have been using the content Pack "Microsoft Azure Enterprise" for a while now and used to show reports with daily updated data.

For some weeks now, the data isn't updated any more.

When I try to refresh data by clicking on "Refresh" or run an schedule, it ends with a "OK", but no data is updated.

First, I suspected a change so that the content pack only shows monthly updated data and waited for the month to end.

Now, when i refresh the data, i get an OK, like before. The data changed, but only a empty new month appeared (July 2017).

I checked this on a blank new report, so the posiibility that i missed a filter should be zero.

Any hints?

hello.

I used this link to power bi authentication code in java -->https://github.com/satalyst/powerbi-rest-java,but its not working.Please give some instruction on power bi API which related to java.

Hello,

So we're trying to configure an on-premise gateway to automate dataset refreshes, but we're having trouble getting it to work.

We have been able to register the gateway with the service, getting in the data sources, and makign the report recognize them alright. But, when we try to select it as the gateway for the scheduled refresh, the next error appears:

Failed to use the selected gateway. Please make sure the gateway is up and running and try again.
Please try again later or contact support. If you contact support, please provide these details.

On June 1 of your rising senior year, your BGO should be listed in the Candidate Information System ("CIS"). At the same time, the BGO learns that you are his/her student through the BGO on-line system. IMO, the best way to make initial contact with explainer video your BGO is via email. After that, you and the BGO can sort out the best way to stay in touch. You can also find out your BGO via your high school guidance/career counselor.

Hi, Friends!

Could you please tell me when we can see License agreement for the using Power BI service?

Thank you in advance!

I published a report to Power BI with multiple tabs. I would like to share that report with people in my group. However, there is no option to share this report. I don't want to pin 6 pages to a dashboard because that would be a mess.

I saw someone link to a report using a dashboard though. I want to be able to do that. How do I do that and ensure that everyone has access?

Hello All, 

I created a report that is shared to a large amount of person with RLS. It's updating every month and everything was doing well until today. 

One of the person that is using this report limited with RLS can't suddenly see ONE table diplaying on a page with a lots of other visual. 

In this visual that is not working is written an "X" with "Can't diplay the visual". What is weird is that this table is just summarizing the data displaying in charts (that he can see) in this same worksheet. It means that this table is not containing any new measures.

How is it possible that he can't see anymore this visual while he can see every other visual with the same information in it ?

The exact message he sees when he select "see details" is :

Could'nt load the data for this visual 
Couldn't retrieve the data for this visual. Please try again later. 

Please try again later or contact the support.

Any help or answer would be appreciate as I don't have any idea of where it can came from....

Thank you

We are trying to figure out how are users who have pulled down a published app can make one of the dashboards within that app a favorite? The favorite and set as featured dashboard options dont seem to be available on dashboards that are acquired via a bundled app. Are we missing something? If not, is this coming?

I got no support the last time I posted about refreshes failing, so I rebuilt all my reports from scratch to make the queries more efficient. Now I'm getting lots of failures for a new reason. It keeps saying there is no gateway available. Except there is. It's there, it's online, the service says it's there, but then the refresh fails anyway. What is happening and how can I make this stop? I have to refresh my pbix files on the desktop app and republish them multiple times a day just to keep my reports up to date. It's ridiculous. I can't get any work done because I'm too busy manually doing something that is supposed to be automated. This crap has been going on for two months now. Microsoft, fix these stupid gateway programs.

How to delete a Q&A that has been pined to a Dashboard and how to edit one and save back to the Dashboard.

Thanks

Oscar

Hi,

I have a scenairo in which I have to display 2(Sales, Sales_History) measure values by Region having 'Month-Year' as a filter. Consider like I have data for each day from Jan 2016 to July 2017 and I applied filter as Mar-2017. then valuse for measures should be as below

Sales:- Should display data for Mar-2017 month only.

Sales_History:- Should display data from Jan 2016 to Mar 2017.

For e.g

                              Sales                 Sales_History

--------------------------------------------------------

Region1                 20                          235 (Sum from Jan 2016 to Mar 2017 for Region1) 

Region2                 25                          225 (Sum from Jan 2016 to Mar 2017 for Region2)

Region1                 15                          215 (Sum from Jan 2016 to Mar 2017 for Region3)

Region1                 22                          205 (Sum from Jan 2016 to Mar 2017 for Region4)

Please anyone let me know how this can be done in Power BI.

Regards

How to upload a excel file into power bi service?

When i am uploading excel file its getting upload in to workbooks, but excel doesn't displays any data though my excel data is already in a table format.

Please tell me how to do?

Hi, is there a way to set email distribution (that runs automatically) from owner or admin to some specific email addresses, containing the snapshot of dashboard or report after refresh or after a defined time?

Hi All - not sure if this is the right forum

I have an Excel report using Power Pivot and a pivot table on top of that.  

I can upload this to the Power BI service and you can play with it just fine.  

My issue is I can't download the file.  I need to allow users to grab this report and download it.  I put it up in Power BI so I can refresh it on a schedule.

Am I missing a feature to be able to download this workbook?  I can't even edit it or download it and it's my workbook.  

Thanks!

Hello,

Our report - which is based on two SAP BW Queries - seems to experience difficulties regarding the scheduled refresh. This is the error that we got back:

"Last refresh failed: Wed Jul 19 2017 13:15:26 GMT+0200 (West-Europa (zomertijd)) 
The gateway operation has been cancelled explicitly by the user or from a timeout.

"

Is there too much data or is there something wrong in the communication between SAP en Power BI? (the report is way under the limit of 1GB) 

If anyone can offer any advice or provide further information that would be highly appreciated.

Hello!
I have some problems with Power BI Publisher.
I installed Power BI Publisher on few PCs and on the 2 of them I have problem with storing Logins and Passwords automatically when I update the data.

I have some reports in Exel and when I try to Update ALL I have to fill my Password for Azure for every table in my report.
I have reports wich contain more than 20 tables. It's terrible!
I have this problem only on 2 computers. The same Windows.

The same Excel. What am I doing wrong?
