Hi all,
Anyone know a way to stop the dataflow timing out.
Datasource is on-prem SQL database, using a native query. Result set is in the millions
Thanks

How long should it take for an App to update after the Dashboard is updated?
When a Workspace has a dashboard that is updated, the message for the related App update says "it might take a bit" or something like that. Is there any documentation that states how long that should be until it is updated? We routinely get the 10-20 minute range before the App is updated to match the Dashboard. We are trying to determine if that is normal.

i am using the filter pane which is new release from powerbi and i saw seeing the option of deleting the filters from report and when i reload the report page again the filters are back . I have few business users in external space will they have the same option to see this delete button ?. Is there any possible way that only admin of app workspace can see and app users who are just members just hide from them?

Getting this error message when refreshing dashboard dataset. No clue what's going on.
Here is the error message. At first, the report refreshed fine. Then it began to not refresh then gave the error Not a legal OleDate. So I decided to delete the report and republish. I also tried to delete the dataset but it would not let me. Now it is giving this error whenever I try to refresh the dataset. I have absolutely no clue what's going on. The report itself refreshes fine without any error.
Error:

Data Flows - not able to connect to APIs (web.content) or Cosmo DB...
I copied some M queries I have from a PBIX into flows and they could not be validated.
APIs failed on the anonymous authenticaion type which works in the PBIX (gateway needed?...).
Cosmo DB failed because of "missing module" ... but the query wors in the desktop PBIX.

Unable to combine data - Please rebuild this data combination - Refresh in Power BI Service off API
I am struggling with refreshing data coming off multiple web API's which I combine using a parameter in the URL. The data refreshes ok in Power BI desktop, but I cannot get it to refresh within the service.
I've looked at the below link as well as ignoring the Privacy Settings in the desktop, but I still cannot figure out why I get an error message and how to seperate the queries into seperate staging queries in Power BI desktop:
https://www.excelguru.ca/blog/2015/03/11/power-query-errors-please-rebuild-this-data-combination/
My error message is below: If I try and create seperate staging tables I get error messages. Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated!
Error Message:
[Unable to combine data] Section1/V7ClientsStaging2/Added Custom1 references other queries or steps, so it may not directly access a data source. Please rebuild this data combination. Table: V7Clients.
Original Query (which gives an error on Added Custom 1 step) when uploaded to service:
let
Source = {
ClientDetails[AreaGuid]
},
#"ListOfLists" = List.Combine(Source),
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Converted to Table",{{"Column1", "AreaGuidsForFunction"}}),
#"Expanded AreaGuidsForFunction" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Renamed Columns", "AreaGuidsForFunction"),
#"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded AreaGuidsForFunction", "Custom", each AssessmentsInfo([AreaGuidsForFunction])),
#"Removed Errors" = Table.RemoveRowsWithErrors(#"Added Custom1", {"Custom"}),
#"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin(#"Removed Errors",{"AreaGuidsForFunction"},ClientDetails,{"RootAreaGuid"},"ClientDetails",JoinKind.LeftOuter),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Merged Queries",{"Custom"}),
#"Expanded ClientDetails" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Removed Columns", "ClientDetails", {"ClientName"}, {"ClientName"})
in
#"Expanded ClientDetails"
And this is how I've attempted to split the query out, where I still get the same error message on the second staging table:
Staging Table 1:
let
Source = {
ClientDetails[RootAreaGuid]
},
#"ListOfLists" = List.Combine(Source),
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Converted to Table",{{"Column1", "AreaGuidsForFunction"}}),
#"Expanded AreaGuidsForFunction" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Renamed Columns", "AreaGuidsForFunction")
in
#"Expanded AreaGuidsForFunction"
Staging Table 2
let
Source = V7ClientsStaging1,
#"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each AssessmentsInfo([AreaGuidsForFunction])),
#"Removed Errors" = Table.RemoveRowsWithErrors(#"Added Custom1", {"Custom"})
in
#"Removed Errors"
Final table (Table 3):
let
Source = V7ClientsStaging2,
#"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin(Source,{"AreaGuidsForFunction"},ClientDetails,{"RootAreaGuid"},"ClientDetails",JoinKind.LeftOuter),
#"Expanded ClientDetails" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Merged Queries", "ClientDetails", {"ClientName"}, {"ClientName"}),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded ClientDetails",{"Custom"})
in
#"Removed Columns"

Windows Authentication with Import & Direct Query
Hello
I’m looking for information on how credentials are handled from the service down to the data source. We are looking to implement a windows authentication model where by the users logs into the Power BI service and their credentials are passed down all the way to the data sources (SQL Server), so running traces on SQL server you would see user domain accounts from Power BI accessing views etc. We will mostly be using Direct Query but would like to get a good understanding of import mode to.
Seems to me you can connect with the following credentials
Windows Current Credentials (is this windows authentication?)
Windows Alternate Credentials (is this a static windows account?)
Database User Credentials (is this like the sa account on the database?)
For Import Mode
From within the power bi desktop I understand that when connecting using current credentials I must be connecting to the data source under windows authentications because if I’m not added to the database as a user and given permissions i cant connect.
Question 1) once a report is deployed to the service what happens when the data-set is refreshed using the "Refresh now" feature when data sources credentials are set to Current Credentials?
Question 2) When a scheduled refresh has been set and the data sources credentials are set to Current Credentials who’s credentials are used to connect to the data source as this happens uninitiated from any user?
For Direct Query Mode
Again similar to import mode if connecting with Current Credentials from within desktop using direct query I must be using windows authentication.
Question 3) When I access anything in the service that initiates a query request and Current Credentials has been set within data-source dose the initiating users windows credential get passed down to the data source because from the below Microsoft online documentation it seems to state in the last paragraph this does not happen and the same fixed credentials will be used all the time.
Security
As discussed earlier in this article, a report using DirectQuery will always use the same fixed credentials to connect to the underlying data source, after publish to the Power BI service. Again, note this refers specifically to DirectQuery, not to live connections to SQL Server Analysis Services, which is different in this respect. Hence immediately after publish of a DirectQuery report, it is necessary to configure the credentials of the user that will be used. Until this is done, opening the report on the Power BI service would result in an error.
Once the user credentials are provided, then those credentials will be used, irrespective of the user who opens the report. In this regard it is exactly like imported data, in that every user will see the same data, unless Row Level Security has been defined as part of the report. Hence the same attention must be paid to sharing the report, if there are any security rules defined in the underlying source.

DataFlow Refresh Error and Fix for added Fields in Dynamics 365
I work with Power BI Desktop and Service and have began using DataFlows to extract data from Dynamics 365. I noticed that my reports would not refresh if a field was added to the entity in Dynamics 365. The error stated that there were more columns than expected, which caused all my reports to crash.
Here is what I have found works.
1. Go to Power BI service and enter into the dataflow and exit, which validates all the queries.
2. Go to the report in Power BI Desktop and clear all permissions under data source settings on the desktop report
3. Refresh the data flow
4. Wait ~20 mins
5. Refresh the power BI report on desktop and publish to the service
This has worked for me. Please message me if you have any faster ways to do this!

Manual refresh on CosmosDB is successful but is missing data
I've got a data set of over 500k rows in CosmosDb for which I've setup a data connection. When I refresh the data in the desktop app, I see all the data. However, when I'm on the workspace website and force a manual refresh I find that it reports as successful but only has 25k rows. I'm waiting for the Scheduled Refresh to see if it has similar issues with this query, but I'm unable to trust the manual refresh due to this issue.

How to find data sources ?
Hello,
We have some existing Power BI reports, and we want to find which are their data sources. First we tried to find them through https://app.powerbi.com, but it seemed that it was not possible (really it's impossible ??). Then we download the .PBIX file from Datasets, and opened it with Desktop. We picked the main query "Data input", and in Query Editor > Applied Steps > Navigation, we saw a list of EXCEL files, but which one ? or ones ?
Thanks for your help
The first rows in Advanced Editor :
let
Source = SharePoint.Contents("Company SharePoint root URL", [ApiVersion = 15]),
#"Shared Documents" = Source{[Name="Shared Documents"]}[Content],
PowerBI = #"Shared Documents"{[Name="PowerBI"]}[Content],
#"Data Input" = PowerBI{[Name="Data Input"]}[Content],
#"Filtered Hidden Files1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Data Input", each [Attributes]?[Hidden]? <> true),
#"Invoke Custom Function1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Filtered Hidden Files1", "Transform File from Query1", each #"Transform File from Query1"([Content])),
#"Removed Other Columns1" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Invoke Custom Function1", {"Transform File from Query1"}),
#"Expanded Table Column1" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Removed Other Columns1", "Transform File from Query1", Table.ColumnNames(#"Transform File from Query1"(#"Sample File"))),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Table Column1",{"All columns"}),

Power BI Matrix Calculated Column

Is there a way for me to create a calculated column that does Failures/Flights? I tried creating it as an additional column on my data, but is not dynamic by months/ids filtered.

When I share a report, how do I direct the recipient to a specific page?
The "Share" feature can be very useful, but I cannot figure out how to direct the recipients to the specific page that needs their attention. E.g., "Hey, Joe, please look at the AR on this file. It is long overdue."
I don't want to direct Joe to a 10-page report and force him to search for the relevant page because he may give up in frustration and never collect the accounts receivable. I want to direct him to the specific page that requires his attention.
Thanks,

MAQ Gantt Visual - Minor Font Issue
Using 3.3.5.0 of MAQ's Gantt visual.
Minor, but annoying... If I put all options to Font Family = "Segoe UI Lite" if looks fine on the desktop. If you post it to the PowerBI.com service, it switches to a sarif font.
See pic - the right side is a snippet of my MAQ Gantt chart, set to Segoe UI Lite. The left side is a native bar chart, w/ Segoe UI Lite properly rendering.
Anyone else seeing this?
