Embed URL for displaying Power BI report (in iFrame) not working

$
0
0

Hi all,

 

Right now it is possible to display Power BI reports within SharePoint Online. The authentication will go automatically, based on the SP user that consumes the report. Every user that views the Power BI report within SharePoint Online needs to have a  Power BI Pro license.

 

Right now I would like to achieve the same, displaying a Power BI report within an iFrame using the following URL structure: https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed?reportId=<REPORTID>&amp;groupId=<GROUPID>&amp;language=nl-NL&amp;formatLocale=nl-NL

 

Unfortunately this URL is not working when I try it outside SharePoint Online. Does someone know how I could create an iFrame that displays a Power BI report and authenticates the user automatically? So it is NOT an option to publish the report to web.

 

Thanks!


Row level security: User should see own data and total

$
0
0

Hi,

 

My customer wants row level security, but with addition that all users can see total amount as well. So, let's say, we have table like this:

 

Products
Country    Measure
Italy              65
Germany      72
Spain            60
France          54
Total          251

 

 

User from Italy shoud see something like this:


                       Italy          Total

Products           65            251

 

or like this:


Products
 

Country    Measure
Italy                65
Rest              186
Total             251

 

or like this, without Rest (but it would be nice to have "Rest" Smiley Happy)

 

Products 

Country    Measure
Italy                65
Total             251

 

 

So, user from Italy should see Italy numbers and Total, but not a details per other countries. 

And of course, users from other countries should follow the same rule respectively. 

Part of the problem is that they could have like hundred or more such a  users (it it not countries in real example, but sales locations).

 

I can make two fact tables - one normal and apply RLS and the other without country dimension that will have total for all countries across all other dimensions. But, two tables solution has some disadvantages:

- I am not sure how that will function on a reports

- more work on maintenance

- maybe some other issues

 

Is it possible to have a solution for this with just one fact table?

 

Thank you!

 

Time zone issue

Hi,

 

I have used Today() function to display today sales. I am in US EST (UTC -5).  My power BI service time is 5 hours ahead. So after 7 PM, my reports shows as today sale is empty when US users see the report.

 

We have international users so I dont want to use DAX function to hard code to work for US users. Hope it will affect other internationl users.

 

Is there a setting in Servce/Desktop that I can do to work correctly? Or what should be the correct solution to this?

 

Thanks,

Workspace vs App Security

$

Hello, I would like to give users access to just the App while keeping them out of the workspace.  Is that possible?  Everytime I remove them from the workspace (but keep them as having app access) they can get into the app but not see anything.  When I give them access to the workspace it works, but I don't want them there. 

 

I also made sure that the app has access to both the dashboard and the workbook...

 

Any help is appreciated.  thanks,

User can see dashboards not shared with them in their My Workspace

$

I've got one user tha can see dashboards in the service when they go to "My Workspace" that:

  • They did not create
  • Are not shared with them from the source workspace
  • For which the workspace they are in does not have them in the access list as either an administrator or member
  • For which the "App" that is published from the source workspace doe not include the user and is not set to entire orgainization

 

With the Dashboards list at the workspace level it appears that all dashboards from the source workspace are there and the Owner is listed as that workspace name (not the user name).  The icons that show for each dashboard are the paper, excel, "view Related", trash, and a few have the blub (alerts).

 

Sure seems me that there is something crossed with security in the service.  Anyone know what this could be?   I've checked all the permissions and areas I know to check.

Unsupported Account

I am an Action Pack subscriber which entitles me to $100 in Azure credit per month. I would like to use that credit to do some prototyping with PowerBI embedded. When I try to setup a resource to do this, I receive the message:

 

Unsupported account

You cannot create a Power BI Embedded capacity using a personal account. Use your organizational account instead.

 

My Action Pack subscription was purchased using my personal account and their is nothing in the program restrictions that indicates something like "You can only use PowerBI if you are an Action Pack subscriber and using a corporate account." How can I use my credits for PowerBI? MS sure has issues with this whole "personal" vs. "corporate" account thing. My account clearly says under Notifications: "Subscription "Microsoft Partner Network" has a remaining credit of $100.00."

I need to show personal reports embedded on Sharepoint, depending on user account that is viewing it. I don't mean general access groups (as in RLS), but that for every single user the report if filtered by their user name.

 

For example, userID 12345 has logged on to Sharepoint, and he goes to see report, and the report is automatically filtered by userID = 12345.

Understanding how R-Scripts work in Power BI Service

$

Hello everyone,

 

i´m fairly new to Power BI but have couple of years experience with QlikView/-Sense and R.

 

I love the capability to use R-Scripts directly in Power BI (Desktop) but I don´t really understand how everything works in PBI Service.

 

If I upload the PBIX to the service, I have to install a personal Gateway to reload the R-Skript, which points towards my local R installation (on my machine).

 

(I´m not directly querying a source with R, I´m just using an inline table for demo purpose and a simple R-Skript in QueryEditor/Transformation)

 

grafik.png

 

My questions are:

  • Is there any way to have an R-Environment (Server) running directly in Power BI Service (maybe Premium?) or is this planned in the future?
  • Can I point towards an local/ in local network installed R-Server with a gateway and use this one for calculations?
  • Are there any further limitations, like number of rows which can be processed (besides the limitations of my local machine)?

In the current version, the R-Scripts are not really useable for me, because my local machine isn´t always there if reload occures and of course not powerfull enought for bigger datasets.

 

If the PBI-Service would have a built-in R-Environment - maybe even for a small additional price - this would catapult Power BI into the next dimension! Just imagine what can be done with R-Scripts!

 

Thanks in Advance.

Getting data alert in Power BI from MySQL DB operations

Hi,

 

We have MySQL DB in one of our AWS box that will get updated frequently for some parameters. We want to have data alert on it.

So we have created connection of MySQL to Power BI Desktop and added KPI for a field and then published this to Power BI Service as .pbix file and pinned tile from it and added data alert for particular condition.

But whenever we do any modification to MySQL DB and that particular condition matches, data alert is is not getting trigerred.

First of all In Power BI we have to press 'Refresh' button to fetch the latest DB content and then we need to publish it again to Power BI Service, then only data alert is getting trigerred.

Can anyone help here as to how to fix this?

 

Thanks,

Amit

Intermittent Performance Issues with BigQuery in Direct Query on PBI Service

We've been intermittent luck with using Google BigQuery in Direct Query mode on the Power BI service. For as few days, it ran great, no performance issues. Suddenly after 4pm CST yesterday (12/20), we started to get severe degradation when using the service. No changes on our end, and didn't see any issues reported.

 

Any thoughts to what may be causing this?

Can't Enter Shared Dashboards from App Workspaces

$

Hi,

 

I've set an an App Workspace so a number of colleagues can colloborate on reports and dashboards. I don't intend, at this stage, to create an App from the Workspace, I only want to use it as a centralised space.

 

I've then set up a dashboard that I want to share with colleagues. These colleagues are not part of the App Workspace, they'll only be consumers of the reports. Below is a screenshot of the dashboard as I see it in the App Workspace:

 

App Workspace Correct View.PNG

 

When I share this report with a colleague who isn't in the App Workspace, this is what they see:

 

App Workspace Incorrect View.png

 

The images, linked from Files, don't show. But the user can't click on the tile title to access the report. I've also checked this with someone who does have access to the App Workspace and they see the same.

 

I've read through the guidelines and it looks like Dashboards being shared from an App Workspace should work in the same way as those not hosted in App Workspaces.

 

Any ideas what's going on?

Date Slicer Format Changes in Service

I've recently noticed that my date filters in the Services are showing up as a full length date/time field, instead of the way I have them formatted. But it only shows up like that until you select another option, then it dissapears and returns to the correct format. Has anyone experienced this or know of a way to fix it?
