Access to reports included in an app

January 29, 2019, 7:46 am
$

I create reports, then I publish them, then I include them in an app. I want to give access to my app and the included reports to my colleagues. Now, managing the access is totally confusing : 

- I can share the main dashboard with a list of people

- I can share each individual report with another list of people

- there is yet another list of "members" of the application workspace, which can be different

In the end I can have (at list) 3 different lists of people having access to the app, part of it, or none, etc. So :

- in case of contradiction between these lists, which one supersedes the others ?

- if I just want one list of people having access to all the content of one app, where do I have to make the list ?

 

I would like a simple tutorial explinaing the principles of these multiple entries and the way to make it simple Smiley Happy

thank you for your help

Paginated Reports, an unexpected error

I have successfully uploaded paginated reports to my workspace and connected them to an SQL Server. The workspace is assigned to premium capacity and I have a pro licance and I am the owner of the workspace. I have added mambers to the workspace and made it avalible internal within the company but no members of the workspace or internal users can see the reports. When they try to open one of them, it says that they do not have the access to view them. The only way for me to allow users to see the paginated reports is to add them as admin. I do not want all the people viewing the reports to be admin which allowes them to change everything?? Is there away to get around this? Thank you for your help.

App/Workspace Images and Icons

I have noticed that within the last few weeks all new workspaces I create do not carry over the workspace image/icon to the apps when I publish them. In the below screenshot I have an image uploaded for the Partner Dashboard workspace which I just created. The other workspaces were created several months back but also have images uploaded.

When I go to publish the new workspace to an app, it doesnt carry over the image like it previously used to. Is anyone else having this issue or am I missing something here?

Unable to edit Data Source Credentials or Schedule a refresh

Hello,

 

I have uploaded a pbix file to the service and when trying to schedule a refresh I am unable to edit my credentials or even set up the refresh. I do not have the on premises gateway installed but that has never been an issue in the past. I did get a failed to refresh due to an expired password query this morning on another data set that has one of the same data sources, and was unable to alter credentials there as well.

 

What I see:

 

 

 

I also tried to just refresh from the service which failed, giving me the following error: 

 

Something went wrong
Scheduled refresh has been disabled.
Please try again later or contact support. If you contact support, please provide these details.
Data source error: Scheduled refresh is disabled because at least one data source is missing credentials. To start the refresh again, go to this dataset's settings page and enter credentials for all data sources. Then reactivate scheduled refresh.

Report Goes Blank After Scheduled Refresh

Hello,

 

I have an issue where I have a report that I made in the desktop version, it works perfectly and I have never had an issue refreshing. I published this to O365 to share with others and set up a scheduled refresh. When I publish the report at first it works fine, but after a scheduled refresh takes place, the majority of the report goes blank. Its worth noting that this particular report has 10+ pages, however only 1 is having trouble.

 

I never get an error on refresh, it says successful, but no data. If I republish it works again, until the next schedule refresh occurs.

 

Does anyone know what I could be done wrong? All of my other reports/pages work fine. Thank in advance for any help.

 

 

Here are the formulas used:

Cost Amount Consumption = -1 * CALCULATE([Cost Actual],'Value Entry'[Item_Ledger_Entry_Type] = "Consumption")

Cost Actual = CALCULATE(SUM('Value Entry'[Cost_Amount_Actual]), FILTER('Value Entry',[Expected_Cost]="False"))

 

Cost Per Unit = Divide([Cost Amount Consumption], [Units Output])

Units Output = CALCULATE(SUM('Item Ledger Entry'[Quantity]),'Item Ledger Entry'[Entry_Type] = "output")

dataset uploaded to app.powerbi.com refreshes under my ID, but other user gets Credentials Invalid

I am using Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017 with an on premise sql server.  Connecting Power BI to the server via OData.  I've created a .pbix file that refreshes fine on my desktop and also when i upload it to app.powerbi.com via the gateway I've setup.  However, I have a user whose role is to manage reporting.  I have the .pbix file where it will refresh on her desktop, but via her login into app.powerbi.com, it fails.  The Gateway that i've setup for my company test "Online.  You are good to go."  But, when I try to manually refresh the dataset, i receive the Data Source Credentials error "Your data source can't be refreshed because the credentials are invalid.  Please udpate your credentials and try again."  It then shows 15 or so OData errors with an x and Edit Credentials as a hyperlink.  I've tried changeing the credentials in Anonymous, Windows, Basic & Key.  I've tried all versions of super user.  I've mimicked the exact same setup as my credentials that work.  Help!

Hi,

 

I am a student assistant and I am searching for some information regarding Power BI usage through our department's Azure account. Can I use Power BI with our Azure's license, or would I need to arrange a separate license? Essentially I am documenting using Power BI for our students, but using the university's department subscription. Please let me know if this possible?

 

I know about using Azure's DBs for data and then connecting that database directly to PowerBI, but I am looking for like setting up direct access to the users' accounts using the department's premium subscription.

 

Thank you in advance,

Clarity over Requirements for Refreshing Local Files

January 29, 2019, 3:04 pm
$

Hi all, 

 

Looking for some answers on connecting to local or network files from Power BI Service.  Two part question really:

  1. Is there a difference in setting up local files (ie. to desktop or basic folder on my device) vs. setting up to a network location?  I noticed I can access my company's network files via a weblink in File Explorer so was wondering if there is a way to set up the refresh so that the device does not have to be 'on'.
  2. If the answer to the above is that the local file connection and network file connection are the same, what are the specific conditions required for refresh to succeed?  For example:
    1. The computer has to be on?
    2. The computer has to be on but not in sleep?
    3. The computer has to be on, not in sleep but the screen can be locked?
    4. The computer has to be on, not in sleep and the screen not locked?

I noticed that my refresh failed this morning despite my computer being on, but it was probably in sleep mode.

 

Thanks in advance!

Difference in Performance Between Power BI Service Links to Local or Sharepoint Files

Hi all,

 

Does anyone have information on the performance variations between files on SharePoint vs. accessing those same files via a local file/network drive.  

 

I'm just curious about what might impact performance of these two data source options and therefore what considerations you might give for deciding where to store files that will feed a Power BI model published on Service.

 

Cheers

Need help to fix the problem, thanks!

 

Details:

The line&stacked column chart legend displayed in a different way between power bi service and desktop.

I have 4 column values and 2 line values in a chart , in the desktop pbi file, the legend order of these 5 values displays as expected, but when I upload it to onedrive and link to power bi service, the order changed, different between the orginal setting in pbi desktop. And I haven't met this problem last month, it seems a new update or change in power bi service, does anyone know about that??

Hello!

 

This is regarding capacity metrics app. So i have a november version (installed on November 16 to be exact) and a january version, i set an alert on the Memory tile in my November version but i can't see that alert in my January version.  

We usually don't retain old versions so i guess if i delete my november version i would need set that alert again in my new version. 

What if we set multiple alerts on many tiles? Smiley Sad

Gateway Offline or Can't Be Reached

January 30, 2019, 2:02 am

I have an enterprise data gateway which resides on the same server as my SQL Server data source. I receive the "Your gateway is offline or cannot be reached" error message intermittently during daily refreshes. 

 

When this occurs I log onto the server to ensure the gateway is up and running. The gateway will show up as "online and ready to be used" and the network port test succeeds.  Yet when I try to run a refresh on the dataset in Power BI service this issue remains. I have tried running a trace on the data source while attempting to refresh the dataset but there doesn't seem to be any connectivity attemts to the datasource coming from the Power BI user.   

 

The gateway logs are showing one of the following errors:

 

1) A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.

 

2) The credentials provided for the SQL source are invalid.

 

3) Microsoft.PowerBI.DataMovement.Pipeline.Diagnostics.SqlDataAccessException: SqlException encountered while accessing the target data source

 

4) Microsoft.PowerBI.DataMovement.Pipeline.Diagnostics.MashupDataAccessCredentialException: Missing or invalid credentials for data source. Reason = 'AccessUnauthorized', DataSource = '<pi>XXXXX</pi>', DataSourceReference = '', DataSourceOrigin = '', DataSourceReferenceOrigin = ''.; ErrorShortName: MashupDataAccessCredentialException[ErrorCode=-2147467259,HResult=-2147467259]/Wrapped(MashupCredentialException)[ErrorCode=-2147467259,HResult=-2147467259]

 

5) Microsoft.PowerBI.DataMovement.Pipeline.Diagnostics.GatewayCancellationException: The operation failed due to an explicit cancellation.

 

 

On occasion I find that there are 2 Power BI datasets that refresh at the same time for the same source data. One will refresh fine while the other will give the "gateway offline or can't be reached" error. 

 

The issue is ongoing since October. I updated the gateway to the latest version in early December (November version) but the issue is ongoing. 

 

Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening or a possible solution?

Hi,

 

We are connecting to Analysis Services (SSAS Cube) from Power BI desktop using msmdpump.dll. We are using this approach because end users are external to the server where the cube is hosted. We could successfully connect to the SSAS cube from Power BI Desktop in import mode but when try to publsih these report to the service, obvously it is looking for a gateway

 

1. Could you please guide on how to configure msmdpump.dll as a Analysis Services datasource on an existing gateway?

 

2. When we try to configure msmdpump.dll in the same approach as we do for a normal Analysis Services cube, we get an error

 

Unable to connect: We encountered an error while trying to connect to . Details: "We could not register this data source for any gateway instances within this cluster. Please find more details below about specific errors for each gateway instance.

 

Status Code: 400, Error Code: DMTS_PublishDatasourceToClusterErrorCode, Error: Invalid connection credentials.

 

Could you please help?

 

Also, would like to know if there is a possibility of connecting from Power BI desktop to a dataset in the Power BI service via the gateway? When I try do this from Power BI desktop it tries to connect to the datasource locally and not via the gateway.

 

Please help.

How to help users to access and work with the data from a SaaS API.

January 30, 2019, 4:22 am

We are running a SaaS web app. The app has an ODATA rest API. A user has now asked us how to access his data with Power BI.


Accessing the data from my own web app account and working with it in the Power BI desktop app is no problem.

 

In what ways can I now help the users of the app to access their data?

 

The fastes way would be a tutorial with a few screenshots or a short video, but I would like to provide some further help.

Is it possible to provide a sample file? We do that alread for Power Pivot and it works quite well.

 

The users are from different companies. They all have different Power BI versions. Some pay, some use the free desktop version. Every user has it's own data set. 

I do not need to share the data itself, we need to share 1) the information on how to access the data and 2) some cool examples how to work with the data.

We do not need to integrate Power BI in the app itself. The app already has reporting and a dashboard.

 

What are my options?

Thank you!

Hi,

 

I just recently started having problems refreshing Excel files on a SharePoint on the Service, when everything was working fine before.  I have no issues refreshing with PBI Desktop.  I am getting the error at the bottom of this message.  To date, I have already removed and reinstalled the Access Database Engine 2010 x64 - to no avail.

Republished one of the failing datasets/visuals.

 

I am running Windows 10 64 bit, Office 2016 64 bit, and Power BI 64 bit, and also have the 64 bit version of the Data Gateway installed.


This has brought almost all of my published work to a halt.  Please help!

RLS for group

Hello,

I have successfully set up RLS report filtering via [mail] = userprincipalname() .

It all works fine while adding individual users to:

  • My Workspace/REPORTS/Report/Share

and

  • My Workspace/DATASETS/Dataset/Security/Role/add user

 

But when I add a group the permissions are not set up correctly and the user cannot view the report/data

I checked in AD that the tested user is member of that group.

 

Is this the intened behaviour or did I miss any step here?

 

What can I do to share the report to a group while still having the RLS rule [mail] = userprincipalname() applied?

 

 

Thank you
