Drill down from power BI reports to the raw data

$
0
0

I have gone through report drill through and the drill down functionality. Both of them requires the dataset to be created in the Power BI.

Is it possible to show the raw data from the database ( using which the dataset is created for visuals ) directly, without loading it in power BI dataset ? 

 


Autorefresh Constantly Disabling Without Warning

$
0
0

I'm using the personal gateway that attaches to my pc. Because I'm not on-premise sometimes it will not refresh(especially on weekends) and this is fine. I also get an email for these.

 

It seems that every week I find out that autorefresh has been disabled with no warning after a couple of days with refresh failures, which are expected and fine. When it's disabled I get NO emails that tell me it's been disabled.

 

I have to reset EVERY report's refresh schedule every couple weeks, and nobody knows that the reporting is down. This has big implications on my organization. How do I stop this from happening?

I have shared an app to an external user but they only see a flashing Power BI icon

I have published an app to powerbi.com and everything looks good there. My colleague (same domain) can view the app fine after I added him as member. 

 

However, if I share the app with an external user the external user is redirected to powerbi.com but sees only a flashing PowerBI icon. 

 

Anyone have an idea of why this is happening?

 

Best regards,

What level of effort does it take to support Power BI Premium?

$

0

I'm evaluating Power BI Premium for my company of 3,000 people. It uses a lot of technologies that we don't use today - Azure, Office 365, Azure Active Directory... We would use these only for Power BI Premium.

 

--> What % of a full-time engineer are we going to need to support that stack? Does anyone have some actual experience on this?

 

Thanks

Migrating the content of an account

I was wondering if Power BI has the functionality of before deactivating a user account, migrating its content into a new or an existing account. If so, can it all be done by an administrator account?

ERROR: Failed to send email to invite users. Please try again later. - Sharing a dashboard

$

I was able to share a dashboard with external users last month. I was doing a PoC to show that we can share our dashboards with internal clients, as well as external. It worked flawlessly, and we were able to view them without issue by signing up a free account for the user it was shared with.

 

The problem now, is that it is no longer working for external clients!

1.I'm clicking "Share", and then type in an external email.

2.I get the warning "One or more e-mail addresses with the following domains are outside your organization" which is expected. There are no restrictions in Admin settings, so it never stopped me before.

3. Once I click the "share" button, I get an error pop down from the top right of the screen: "Failed to send email to invite users. Please try again later."

 

This only happens when I use external emails to share. If I try to share within the organization, it works fine. This was already working before, why would it break? Please help!

Access Tokens - Users from Multiple AAD Directories

$

0

Good afternoon,

 

We have Power BI set up on our primary company directory, company.com.  We're able to get the access tokens and access the Power BI Embedded reports without issue, using authorized credentials from our directory.

 

However, we have a B2B use case where our partners live in another directory, that we own and manage.  We add our partner users to the second directory as a Guest User.

 

With our web app, Power BI Embedded reports are being served up in a configuration where the app owns the data.  However, we wish to use the access token from the logged in partner user, on the secondary directory, to serve up the Power BI report. 

 

Question:  How can I grant access to an AAD user of another directory to my AAD Application and Power BI Embedded reports on my company directory?  We wish to avoid "app owns data" scenarios for the purpose of tightly controlling and logging access to our sensitive reports.


Thank you in advance.

hybrid dataset

We are using a Pro trial account for Power BI. We are using a hybrid dataset (that's streaming and push) in Power BI. We successfully create dashboards using streaming tiles which can get refreshed as expected using the Card visualization. However, when we create a simple report (using a slicer) and pin that report to the dashboard, we don't see live updates without refreshing the browser. Can anyone advise why the dashboard does not continue updating?

Auto Refresh not working on web app

$
0
0
Hi Everyone,
 
I'm experiencing some issues setting up auto-refresh (actually, refreshing in general) using the web app. I've created a .pbix file on my desktop version which accesses Google Analytics, Google Sheets (via the web connector) and Facebook, and can refresh data manually just fine on desktop. However, when I upload the .pbix file to the web app and try to set up auto refresh, I get the error message "You can't schedule refresh for this dataset because one or more sources currently don't support refresh". I find this strange as I haven't experienced any problems refreshing until uploading to the web app.
 
When I try to refresh manually, I get a different error message: "Unable to refresh the model (id=3808827) because it references an unsupported data source". other error details include: 
Cluster URI:
Activity ID:
b9d1e866-a212-39b1-7ac1-186274a4e8e1
Request ID:
972445c7-a561-8262-ef0d-e04843dfa05e
 
I've read through all the documentation around auto refresh, but there doesn't seem to be a clear explanation as to which of my data sources is causing this problem, or if there are anyways to work around this. 
 
Another piece of information that may be relevant is that when I upload the .pbix file (either via the "publish to web" function in the desktop app, or via file upload in the web app), it appears under the "dashboards", "reports" and "datasets" section. Under "dashboards" and "reports", everything seems to load fine and all the pages of my report are present, but under "datasets", I can just see a blank canvas. Not sure if that's part of the issue, but it seems that every possible solution I've seen to this refresh issue shows more than just a .pbix file under the "datasets" column. Could this have anything to do with the problems I'm facing?
 
Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue, or if there are any workarounds? 
 
Thanks in advance,

analyze in excel not working again

We cannot sync data from Power BI via the Analye in Excel tool. Neither the "Analyze In Excel" link from the elipsis in a report works nor the Connect to Data in the "Power BI" ribbon.

 

Both the Analyze in Excel update and the Power BI addin (64 bit) were isnstalled today on a Win8.1 machine into the most recent Office build on the Targeted Channel ring (formerly slow ring.) 

Keep getting two requests to log into Azure, then it fails with the following:

 

The Following Error OccuredSmiley SadThe Operation Completed Successfully)

 

It works on my machine, but I am using Fast Ring (Insider), and my installs of the two apps from Power BI.com are at least a month old.

What is going on?

Reports in shared Dashboard are not visible

Hi,

 

i shared my dashboard (my license is Power BI Pro) to an external user email account as shown in many Tutorials and Videos. The external user gets the e-mail with the link to the dashboard. Visiting the link there is the dashboard shown - but the reports in it are not visable. Can someone please help me with this problem?

 

I tried a lot of different ways to solve this problem without success. The dashboard the external user is looking at is 100% the one i shared with the reports in it. If I enable/disable the Q&A for example it is shown in the dashboard in lifetime. If the external uses the Q&A he can show the datasets.

Hope for your answer!

Hello

,I have trouble to connect my Power BI desktop to ODBC DSN to Firebird database. My System DSN with Firebird driver is connected successfully from ODBC settings. When I select my DSN (correct DSN is selected) in Power BI Desktop an error occurs:


Unexpected error: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.


I tested several ways how to fix it (check 64/32bit, versions of driver, Admin permissions) nothing works. Please could anybody help me?
Thanks a lot for any recommendation.

The filter string is not working for me. I added the following to my report:

 

ReportSection?filter=Sheet1/Name eq 'Name1'

 

However, when I press Enter, then the Report level filters on right side show "( Name" as the filter field, and then it gives an error saying "This filter can't be used since the corresponding field is invalid".

 

Screenshot included.

Workspace and storage

Hello,

 

Can someone explain to me how the storage of power bi works with workspaces?

 

  1. The workspace is 10 GB, is this storage assigned to a power bi pro license? What happens with the workspace if people with a power bi pro license leave?
  2. What happens with the content of the workspace if the owner of the workspace leaves the company?
  3. What happens with the content of the workspace if the creator of the concent leaves the company?

I have read this article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-admin-manage-your-data-storage-in-power-bi but I couldn't find the answers to my questions.

 

Kind regards.

Analyze in Excel - Session expired

$

I have an issue with Analyze in Excel since I started using it months ago. After a few minutes (5 - 10) without refreshing the data on the Excel file connected to the Power BI datasource, when I try to refresh or filter the data again, the following warning message pops up and is not able to connect to the Power BI datasource.

 

Screencap 1 - copia.png(The first line translation would be: "We couldn’t get data from the external source. This is the error message that appears:" )

 

Usually, the issue solves itself trying to refresh the data again once or twice until it finally connects to the database, but this should not be happening when the connection has only been inactive for a few minutes.

 

I have been updating to the latest version of the OLAP connector every once in a while, but it has not solved this problem.

I am getting the following error.  However if I login to my data gateway on the server it says I am connected and everything is ok. I am unable to edit any of my connection information in the Power BI Service and am unable to even test the connection.  Also when I click the link that says "Troubleshoot connetion problems" it takes me to a bad url.   Everything was working great, and then a week ago everything stopped even though no changes have been made. Please help me get this resolved.
