Online maps with Direct Query - no location bubbles

January 3, 2018, 7:38 am
$

I've been building an application which maps travel locations, using either the standard map or the Esri map.

 

The datasource is an Azure SQL DB. In standard mode, using latitude, longitude and my measure (days) to control the size of bubbles, everything works just fine. Including online and embedded in an ASP.NET application (also Azure)

 

I am trying a variation to explore with Direct Query. Fresh PBIX file with new DQ data connection establishe. Maps work fine.

 

Publish to PB online and the maps show nothing, even after a data refresh, toggle of slicers, etc. I have confirmed by displaying map Legend that data is being accessed correctly, i.e. map contents change due to slicer interaction, just NO plotting of (bubble) points.

 

I receive no error messages, and am unaware of any DQ limitations in this context.

 

Bottom line: maps (Microsoft and Esri) work fine on desktop, fail online.

 

Note that data points are less than 1,000.

Connect MS SQL Server 2016 with Dynamics

Hello!
Previously I've got a problem with slow operation of Power BI during application of changes. My Power BI is connected to Dynamics 365. I found similar question here http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Slow-download-from-CRM-Online/m-p/303953#M134371 It was advised to use Database inbetween for direct queries from Power BI.

 

1. As first variant I want to use MS SQL Server 2016 for this. I found out SSIS Integration Toolkit for Microsoft Dynamics 365, however I can't find any info about actions on side of MS SQL Server. Can Microsoft provide a clear instruction how connect their two products with each other in order to solve issue with third one?

 

2. Plan B is MS Access. I found this https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Link-to-or-import-data-from-Dynamics-365-636079c1-9fc3-4fca-8410-6596d62223da I need an example of URL. None of what I used actually worked out.

I've created a simple report with PBI desktop. In desktop all works fine.

When I open the report in the service i get the following error:

Report couldn't access the data source because it doesn't have persmissions. 

ErrorAccesDenied.pngimage.png

The gateway is online and when I go to the data sets it refreshes every 15 minutes.

 

Where do i set the persmissions?

I connect to a sql server 2016 , with basic authentiction.

Denied access to my very own dashboard in Application

Good Evening,

 

I have an app with two dashboards, two reports and 1 single dataset. The second dashboard I have just added to the application, but when I open it from within the App, 3 out of 4 pinned live pages come up with an error along the lines of the page is inaccessible or you don´t have permission to view this content (it´s in Spanish). I can view the other dashboard with no problems, and both are built from the same two reports within the App. Of course I am the Admin for the App workspace and App. 

 

If I access the dashboard from the App workspace, I can see it with no issues. I can also drill into the report from the failed Pinned Live page.

Is there something that I have inadvertedly activated (blocking content) somewhere?

 

Here is a screenshot:

Thanks in advance!

Paul.

Working a large data set is an issue for Power BI

Hi,
I need a help of those who faced the same issue or MS experts. I wonder how to import a large data entity through OData feed.
I filtered columns, left only 3 of them, but number of lines is close to a million (around 1Gb). I set a timeout for 8 hours [0,8,0,0].
I tried different ways: through merge, disabled load, FilterToggle etc. No luck.
How to optimize the query to minimize the import and make it quicker?

DirectQuery does not work for me. Company access is locked to SQL server.
I do appreciate your contribution.

P.S. Just some clarifications. When database was smaller, the report worked properly and was refreshed automatically.

Splitting up a power bi instance

Currently the parent company i work for has about 7 different companies who all publish to our premium storage.  One of our companies was just sold and they were curious if were possible to migrate their data sets, dashboards, apps, and settings into their new instance.  Im going to guess this is not possible, but wanted to see if anyone has every done anything like this?  My one thought is just to download all of their pbix files and publish them into their new instance.  They would then have to rebuild their dashboards and apps.

Event based Import Reresh Scheduling

January 2, 2018, 8:38 pm

Hi,

 

I am new to PowerBI and We have developed some reports using the Import option and it looks upto the views created. I understand that we can schedule as many as eight times in a day adding as many intervals in the Import - Schedule Refresh option in the PowerBI service.

 

Problem Statement:

 

Since sometimes the ETL runs a bit overtime , the import may not fetch the actual new data, but just the old data and this will look the Import succeded but we will not know if the data is OLD.

 

Hence if the import refresh is based on an event - like the Import Refresh will start only after the Data Load is complete, it would be more precise and helpful.

 

So the question is, is there an option to do event based Import Refresg triggering option available in PowerBI?

 

Please Help.

Refreshing pbix file from Power BI Desktop in Power BI Service

I have published a pbix file from my Power BI desktop to Power BI service. I made updates in the report and also refreshed the data in Desktop but when I refreshed it in Service, the data is not actually updating. My question now is: Is the pbix file I uploaded in Power BI Service automatically updates whenever I refresh in Power BI Desktop? Or do I have to re-publish my report on service?

Publisher cant access dataset on one computer but can on another

Hi

 

We have a workspace shared amongst several users.  I have Publisher instaleld on a win 10 machine and built a set of reports using the conenctor 6 months ago. Whenever I open it i just hit refresh and everythnig works fine.

 

One of my colleagues can no longer refresh this same report as gets an error and a continuous loop to log in.  I used a remote onto her pc and tried to make a new sheet wth a new connection using her login, the login of the admin user and my own loign. All failed with the same eroro "Can't access the dataset or the report".  I then went to another PC I have which didnt have Publsiher installed. I installed the latest version and logged in as myself and got the same error.

 

So the old pc that has been refshing this report for months works fine and doesnt even ask me to loggin. My new pc wont connect. so i must have permission to access the dataset (I have double checked we are all still members).

 

Any one giot any idea why i can't make a new connection with a lgin that is clearly working elsewhere?

 

Thanks for any advice

Mike

Can't enter security group into app permissions

I have an app that we are trying to restrict by security group. One group, in particular, is problematic. It isn't mail-enabled, so it doesn't have a full email address. also, the name of the security group happens to be contained within the display name of many users. Since the typeahead only loads a few options, and the security group I want isn't in those options, I can't add it to the app. If I just type the name and hit enter, it chooses the first option from the typeahead, which is an individual user, not the security group. If I try to use the group's Guid, I get an error that the email address is invalid or a duplicate.

Using Azure SQL DB, cannot schedule refresh

January 4, 2018, 5:05 pm
$

Hi,

 

I'm using an Azure SQL DB (import, not direct query) as the sole data source for a pbix. When it's uploaded to the power bi web app, I can refresh manually but I can't schedule refresh. "You can't schedule refresh for this dataset because one or more sources currently don't support refresh."

 

I can't find anything wrong with the queries that would stop this, e.g. all queries have "Include in report refresh" ticked. I only have one query that I've customised in the query editor:

 

let
    Source = Sql.Database("tcp:{Database Server}.database.windows.net,1433", "{Database Name}"),
    dbo_AssetAges = Source{[Schema="dbo",Item="Ages"]}[Data],
    #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(dbo_AssetAges,{{"Age", Order.Ascending}}),
    #"Duplicated Column" = Table.DuplicateColumn(#"Sorted Rows", "Age", "Age - Copy"),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Duplicated Column",{{"Age - Copy", "AgeCat"}}),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Renamed Columns",{{"AgeCat", type text}})
in
    #"Changed Type"

In fact. I've got another pbix, that is a direct copy (as in, I copied and pasted the first pbix) with slightly different tables/queries but same data source, and that schedules fine. 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Toby.

ArcGis not working when published to service

In the latest version of PowerBI desktop I created a report containing 3 ArcGis map visuals. This works flawlessly in PowerBI desktop. However, the three maps won't load when accessing the published report (the other parts of the report work fine). Some instances the loading is stuck (with the loading bar on freeze and the Esri logo visible) and some instances the visual returns completely blank.

When reloading the published report, the loading process is endlessly stuck on 'Almost done'.

With two (instead of three) ArcGis maps the same issue remains.

 

I was wondering if there is some solution available?
