Hello,
I have a table with a colum with 3 différents values. Budget, R2 and realized ans another with sales numbers.
I need to compare the sales numbers values in termes of the three values R2, budget ans realized. I do not want to import my table twice.
The final objective IS to have a power Bi page with two card about sales numbers and two segment with the choice between the three values R2, budget and realized.
Thanks for your help

Hi Everyone,
Have a basic question. I have created F2 Sku capacity. I am using Power BI free license.
Now I wanted to some data engineering task for which I need to create a project workspace and attach this new F2 sku capacity with the workspace.
I am not able to access Power BI admin Portal Setting. And also while creating new workspace, it shows app workspace creation is disabled.
1st question - How to make myself admin for this fabric workspace and tenant setting
2nd question - how to enable workspace creation
3rd question - Do I need a Power BI pro license for #1 & 2 (for synapse de and dwh work). Power BI reporting - I have not started yet.
Please provide your inputs.
Thanks,
Pallavi
Hello,
My team and I have a project to create a suite of dashboards for our department. We're delivering these suite of dashboards as a data product through Power BI's app feature.
The data that is used for these dashboards is held in Azure. It is extremely large - about 200K+ rows of data for 1 day (expecting 4-5 years of data). What techniques do you recommend we use to deliver these enterprise reports without performance issues, timeouts, etc.?
FYI, the data held in Azure is raw. We will hold interviews with stakeholders to gather requirements. After that, the data will be processed, aggregated, and shaped in a way to meet those requirements. Do you recommend we use Power BI features to accomplish this?
Also what workflows can we use that utilizes Microsoft Fabric?
I'm trying to access a workspace shared from a customers Power BI service but getting an error "unable to authenticate your credentials".
Let me begin by saying I am a consultant with a couple of different software companies and work with dozens of individual customers. I created a Power BI dashboard for one of these customers on my Power BI service but then exported for them to import into the service for their domain. They have added me as a guest user in their Microsoft Entra ID and at one point I briefly had access to their workspace, which they made me an admin of.
One of the software companies I work with also has me doing their system admin work, which includes maintaining their Azure environment. Rather than setting me up with an account in their Entra ID they added my business id as an external member of their Entra ID.
When I try to access my customers Power BI workspace it does show up but I get an popup stating We've encounted some s with guest content. Please try and refresh your browser. It then shows Error type AAD Authentication Failure and under Organization shows the company I do system admin work for.
When I log into my azure portal and view my account, I do see my business identity as Home organization and below that the two customer organizations mentioned above. I'm not sure why it is trying to authenticate my account against the one customers organization instead of my own.
Hey guys!
When I have published my Power BI file to the Service, I didn't have a cloud connection. The data comes from a SQL server (imported). Normally it is automatically a cloud connection but in this file with that sql server, it wasn't. So I had to do a personal gateway as in the screenshot below.
So right now, I don't know the advantages / disadvantages of those connections. Can someone enlighten me?
And is there a way to get a cloud connection or what are the requirements for that?
Best regards,
Dominic
Data source error: {"error":{"code":"DMTS_OAuthTokenRefreshFailedError","pbi.error":{"code":"DMTS_OAuthTokenRefreshFailedError","details":[{"code":"DM_ErrorDetailNameCode_UnderlyingErrorMessage","detail":{"type":1,"value":"AADSTS135011:
This is related to the device that published or set the refresh up in the power BI service. The question is why? Once the Dataset/Semantic Model is published to the service why is anything tied back to an individual device?
We recently switched to using Fabric Capacity for our Power BI service. As Microsoft suggests, we would like to turn it off on weekends to reduce costs when not in use. However, because of it being shut off, all of the dashboard schedule refreshes fail, and then after a few failures the refreshes are disabled and have to be manually turned back on when Fabric is turned back on. Is anyone else turning off Fabric duing low times and how do you deal with the disabled refreshes?
I have tried to setup an automatic refresh for a report but I am getting an error message. I thought the issue was coming from a MySQL database which was in the dashboard but even when I took that dataset off the model I still got the error message.
The datasources I have are : JSON files, Sharepoint Lists, excel file.
Does anyone knows how to solve it?
At some point Microsoft started graphing "CU" in the capacity dashboard instead of CPU. Their goal is to promote this concept of "carry forward" and "smoothing". Customers are regularly borrowing from future capacity, and the Power BI service is slowly becoming a payday lender, in addition to a reporting service. The claim is that it is easier to manage, but that is not my experience so far.
The CU changes have made this environment very troublesome to manage. If we want to actually find *actionable* ways to fix specific problems, we need to be able to see more detail. Eg. we need the CPU impact when it is *incurred*, rather then the smoothed version. Instead, of managing CPU as it is incurred, Microsoft appears to be reporting a version of the CPU wherein smoothing-accruals are used and the resulting CPU penalties are spread over a long period of time.
Consider the CPU of background operations, based on the following chart:
This chart is almost useless where background CPU is concerned. As you can see, our background consumption is growing out of control (around 30% of total available CPU for the day). But the impact can't be easily managed. We can't isolate whether the background is happening off-hours or not. We can't see where the CPU is incurred. All we have to look at is a big blue bar at the bottom of our utilization graph, and it rises on a daily basis.
We can drill through to timepoint detail, but that loses our ability to visualize usage-over-time. The background operations in that screen are reported in a disorganized way. It doesn't clearly indicate what periods are incurring the most CPU for background operations, so that it can be minimized.
My question is how do we visualize the background CPU in a way that tells us when the CPU cost are *incurred*. That would be far more actionalbe than visualizing the "smoothed" version of this data.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/enterprise/service-premium-smoothing
I find it really bothersome that Microsoft pushed these carry-forward and smoothing concepts as far as they did. It is not likely that this was done based on customer requirements. It seems these changes make it harder than ever for customers to try and manage their CPU usage and, by extension, costs.
I'm trying to use Power BI REST APIs to connect(Refresh Dataset) to set up autorefresh of my report. Do I need to set up a gateway or connection for this? Can someone point me to a documentation/explanation page on how to do this?
Hello everyone,
I have been having a recurring problem with a specific report I published. When I check the refresh history I see the type of refresh: Via API (image 1).
The funny thing is that these start times for do not coincide with the scheduled refresh I originally set up (image 2).
As a consequence, I am exceeding the number of request for 24 hours and my scheduled refresh gets turned off.
I have tried to find similar problems online but haven't been sucessful. Does anyone know how to tackle this problem or what might be causing it?
My datasources are:
1. Sharepoint List
2. Power BI dataflow (connected to cloudera)
3. An API to get the last refresh time (I suspect this might be the issue. However, there are other reports that use this API but don't have any issue).
Thank you very much in advance!
First of all, apologies if this topic is not for this forum (I couldn't find a more appropriate one).
I have a PBI report published in a PBI Service with a connection to SQL Server with two queries inside the report. The report is not big, one of the tables has 7 columns and 100 rows, the other table has 9 columns and 75K rows, 700KB size, i.e. nothing big. In fact this is the smallest report of the whole BI suite we have. This report takes between 20 sec and 30 sec to refresh daily, sometimes even 15 sec. So far so good.
Now the issue which puzzles me.
We use Microsoft Fabric and we have a roadmap for full automation of different processes. Before we switched to Fabric we were using the usual PBI web service, but we went for Fabric because of the multiple good ideas and potential options which the product offers or it will. However, not surprisingly, we discovered that it has tons of bugs and glitches, which we would expect to be addressed and fixed within reasonable time. But, some of these problems are related to super basic functions or basic performance, and frankly are very disappointing.
Regarding the report what we did is to move the two queries out of the report and to add them to a stored procedure.
This is the flow (all of this happens in Fabric pipeline):
All the above 3 steps take between 5 and 6 minutes which is ridiculous. We use the same sql server, same tables etc in both cases, however, we have this huge performance difference - when the query runs from inside the report (20-30 sec) and when we move the query to a separate process outside the report it takes 6 minutes using the same premises and same resources!?
Any ideas, suggestions, explanations etc are more than welcome.
Thanks,
EM
Hello,
I have a Power BI report published in a standard Power BI workpace. I have around 2-3 hundreds of agents who I'd like to send a pre-filtered copy of this report to. Everyone of them must receive a filtered copy of the report, basing on its activity (basically, the agent Sam should receive the report containing only Sam's data).
In order to do this, I was looking at Power Automate to iterate over the 2-3 underds of agents, invoking PBI report PDF creation and sending it to the agent. I know that this needs a PBI Premium capacity. So, here the questios: do the A1 embedded capacity could be used for this purpose? Which woul be the correct sizing and cost estimate of the capacity?
Thank you!
The space for the logo in Power BI app is so small. The documentation says ideal is 100 x 100 pixels. But even at that size, my image is too big. A circle is also very limiting. Is there any way to change the space available for logo or change the shape?
I have read all the Microsoft documentation on this topic, but cannot seem to find an answer to my question.
Situation: I am trying to limit the data visible in a published Power BI app based on a user's division, however the visible data is displaying correctly in the app when I had them test it.
Example: Let's take the following sample table:
| Division | Sales |
| A | $10 |
| B | $20 |
I have applied row-level security to the semantic model such that my test user is in division A and the testing in PBI desktop does in fact show $10 in sales as expected.
When I test in the PBI Service however, I get the below results. I would have expected at least one of these scenarios to result in the correct sales value ($10), but that does not seem to be the case.
| Workspace Access | Report Sales Value | App Access | App Sales Value |
| Viewer | $10 | granted as workspace user | $30 |
| None | N/A | added individually | $30 |
I know that the app is just a display for the reports in a workspace and the audiences just limit which reports can be seen. I also know row-level security is applied at the semantic model level. My question is how to make the the correct sales values show the app? (What roles or access needs to be given in the workspace and/or app to ensure this displays correctly?)
Hey guys!
I've started learning about PBI Report Builder but I got stuck on something basic: relationships between tables.
Just as a test, I created two fact tables in PBI Desktop, one for sales and one for returns. Both contain columns for product and date.
So I created two dynamic columns, one for product and one for date, and related them to the two fact tables.
Of course, I could bring the returns' column to the sales' table and everything would be solved, but my objective here was exactly to test the relationships.
Seeing that they worked perfectly on my dashboard, I published my .pbix and imported the semantic model as a PBI RB dataset and guess what... it didn't recognize the relationships created.
In the Microsoft Learn video course, instructors are dealing with an older version of PBI RB in which there is a relationships panel, which is no longer part of the new version.
So, to make a long story short: how, in this cruel world, do I import relationships between tables created in PBI Desktop into PBI RB?
Thank u for the angel who will enlighten my mind!!
Hi,
So far it has worked well, the programmed refresh. But this morning I stop cooling for no reason or mistake. I can't access the report either.

By email I receive, after 5 hours of attempts, the following:
Refresh failed:
Recaudaciones Teóricas 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.
Next refresh for Recaudaciones Teóricas is scheduled for May 7, 2024 8:30 UTC.
I access the workspace usage metrics both via the autogenerated web page and the power bi semantic models.
Both show usage metrics up to April 30 today May 7th.
When I access the reports pages or when I query the dataset directly it is the same.
They have been working flawlessly for the last 4-5 months.
This is happening across all of our workspaces.
Any ideas? I have been searching for current fabric known issues raised the last few days and nothing.
Hi All,
We have a P1 SKU and I recently installed the Fabric Capacity Metrics App and configured with the Capacity ID .
I am able to see the compute metrics page with visuals showing up.
However the Storage page is blank.
Any idea why this would be?
There is 2 workspaces linked to the P1 capacity.

Appreciate the help!
