Data Source Setting

$
0
0

Hi,

When maintaining the data source/scheduling settings for our AWS database, we are getting the below error. The credentials are correct for sure, because we are able to import data (it connects without any issue through desktop). But when setting it up via the service, it doesn't want to work. Could anyone please help us with this? I tried to raise a ticket for it as well, but it won't accept my account (powerbi.microsoft.com needs permission to access resources in your organization that only an admin can grant. Please ask an admin to grant permission to this app before you can use it.). Thank you all.

Embed a report in a public website

$

Hi all,

 

I have created a report in the desktop app that uses a single excel file for the dataset. I have the file on a local machine. It updates a few times a day through other automated processes. I have a data gateway installed on the same machine, and the report is uploaded to the power BI service in a new workspace with some auto-refresh times set up. I embedded the report on a site in our intranet, and I'm getting the "This content isn't available" error. I have another report embedded in the same site and it works fine. I'm using the public embed code for both, because most of our users do not have Power BI pro licenses. The only difference between the two reports is that the one that works is in my personal workspace, and the one that doesn't is in a new workspace.

 

Please help. I've been banging my head on the problem of getting a relatively frequently updated report published to the public for 36 hours so far.

 

Export underlying data is not working in direct query

Tabular Model which I connected to PowerBI in direct query mode. Before publish, I have changed setting to export underlying data along with summarized data. Where export to summarized data is working fine.

But, When I try to export underlying data which contains 34K+ plus records are not working. Getting error as "Error exporting data" reason mentioned as "sorry, we couldn't export your visual right now. please try again later."

 

I have used table visual where dragged 3 columns from fact, 1 column from dimension and 1 measure( just sum of column value). And I considered all the limitations where Microsoft called out

 

Size of the data is less than 5 MB I suspect. it contains 34K+ plus records only. It should work in PBI service. I have tried all the options which suggested in forums, no luck. Please help here

 

Thanks in advance!!

How to get additional resources (Memory ) for data flows to run faster ?

$

Hi Community,

 

We have been struggling to manage datasets and data flows refreshes in one Premium capacity which have P3 (32 cores) . Many times, datasets and data flows(backend operations) are not finding resources because of multiple user interactions on reports available in Service. 

 

We are planing to scale up our capacity and dedicate seperate memory and make the resources available for data flows and datsets to run faster ( refreshes) . Is there a way to do this ? Please assist !!!!

Is there an API to read the data shown in Power BI reports?

$
0
0

I am looking for an API so I can query the data that is displayed in Power BI reports. The use-case is that the report contains calculated metrics, and we want to programatically/continuously monitor those metrics to ensure they are and remain correct.

 

Right now we are able to continously monitor via API:

  • The original data (eg let's say coming from a CRM)
  • The data stored in Azure SQL (which is used by Power BI)

 

But we can't monitor:

  • The calculated metrics inside the Power BI report

 

Is there an API to read the data shown in Power BI reports?

 

I looked at the Power BI API but it doesn't seem to give access to the data, only to allow managing resources:

Hi,

 

I have a dataset in Power BI Premium, it connected to SQL Serer Analysis Services by gateway.

 

I can see the connection string of this dataset, like this:

But when I connect the dataset by the connection string in power bi desktop, I can not see the dataset, like this:

If the datasource of the dataset is SQL Server,I can see the dataset in power bi desktop.

 

Can someone give me some advice? Thank you.

Using same Slicer Filters on multiple reports in an App

Hi, 

 

We have build an App bundled with 5 different reports each with datasets on its own from a workspace.  The enduser lands on the first report where they see slicers filters on the top, the same set of slicers appears on the rest four reports as well. 

 

Is there a way the filters applied on the first report can be passed on to the rest 4 report ?

 

 

Report User Burden Errors

$
0
0

Hi All,

 

I had a report go live recently (publish to web) which worked well in Desktop and in Service.. However very shortly into the release with the number of users going up the report started to show the "See details" with an (X) error for various cards, charts, even slicers. The error read "Couldn't load the data for this visual".. These visuals that otherwise were working fine before the launch.

The data for this report was loaded as an import from an excel file (no gateway or anything involved), and the main table is around 3400 records which I consider fairly small for what Power BI can work with. 

The assumption was that the report suffered under the user burden, however our site analytics show the error started to occur around 30/40 users (which seems quite low). The report workspace is using premium capacity although I'm not sure how much specifically.

I've never seen this type of error before.. I'd like to better understand what might have caused it, as well as any other known Power BI capacity issues I should be aware of.

Any insight is truly appreciated. Thank you

Dataset: refresh time changed from 20 min to almost 2 hours with no change in the data

Hello, everyone.


I have my data on dataflows, which are working fine getting data from BigQuery once a day (each refresh takes around 15 min). Then I build dashboards using dataflows as a source.


Everything was working fine till last Saturday when the datasets started to take 2 hours to refresh instead of the regular 20 min. 

schedule refresh.PNG

No change was performed in the dashboard the uses this dataset. So I'm a bit conscious about what could be this problem (for pro accounts I heard the timeout for refresh is 2 hours, we're getting on the limit here) and curious whether someone else is facing the same issue since this weekend. Cheers!

 

AFAS Connector in Power BI Service

Hello,

After setting up our AFAS connector in powerBI service gateway, I get the following error message when I try to refresh the dataset. I am able to refresh the set in desktop without any problems. When I remove the connector from the dataset, it updates fine. Multiple reports that use this connector have the same issue.

The weird thing is, that PBI service says "Connection Succesful" in the gateway settings, so why doesn't it work?

TIA!

 


How to count rows in source and save count in PowerBI every week?

$

Hi All,

I have very basic requriment 

Data Source=CSV File on orginsational portal. This file gets refreshed by other team in    organistions I have no controle on this.

Problem= Every refresh overwrites previouse week counts.

Requriment=Count every week and Append existing record with new record.

My PowerQuery= After applying certian filters I need to count number rows on weekly basis  and  display in PowerBI report(I need to append rows on weekly basis).It is like taking snapshot of the source and appending data over the   time.  

 Option tried

A)Incremental Refresh!!I have tried Incremental  refresh because there is meaningful date column in source it is making hard. I have added today's date

B)Append!!I have also tried Append query option but everyweek it overwrites  previouse week.

C) Create history table in PowerBI and insert row everyweek.

Using power Query  Table.InsertRows(from live refresh to exisiting table in PowerBI) This is not     poissble either using PowerQuery you cant insert rows from another                                                         table.

I have been working as BI for last 10 years. I know this is very basic requirment in SQL Server insert into statment will do this easily for me. But I dont know how to achive this PowerBI.

 

 

 

Few questions before purchasing a license

$
0
0

Hey,

thanks in advance.

 

1. What are the differences between Premium bi and Embedded power BI? Does one complete the other? Contains each other?
2. if we purchasing a Premium and/or Embedded license? Does it mean we can access the server at any given moment, can control the information that gets there? Or it's on a dedicated server for us, but we don't have control over it. - I'd love to be able to elaborate on that.
3. Is the server associated with us under the license (premium or embedded) restricted to a physical space?
4. The option that interests us most is the option to do publish to the web and embed the iframe in our systems. Does this option require a certain license?


Thanks

 

Couldn't load the data for this visual for only one user

$

I'm struggling with an issue and wondering if someone has run into something similar.  We have a report that connects to an on-prem SSAS tabular model through an enterprise gateway.  The report is published as an app.  Everyone with access is able to load the app fine except for one user, who receives the following error:

 

"Power BI couldn't load the data for this visual because it isn't in the right format. Please contact the dashboard owner."

 

The user has a Power BI Pro license.  The SSAS tabular model has RLS, which is managed via AD groups.  The user has been added to the appropriate AD group, and I have verified that group belongs to a role in the tabular model.  The role in the tabular model has no row filters and does not exclude any tables or columns.

 

The user has permissions to the app on the Power BI service.  I also tried giving them read permission on the underlying report, same error when they try to load just the report.  Other users in the AD group are able to load dashboard and report fine.  I had the user try different browsers, and even tried the Power BI app on his desktop (not Power BI Desktop, just the Power BI app).

 

Any ideas?  I know it has to be something related to this user but I'm struggling for what else to check.

 

RLS problem with dynamic title for report

$

0

I have RLS implemented and it works perfectly. However I have a dynamic report title that works based on the following measure:

Selected Provider = IF(
NOT ISFILTERED('Providers'[Provider]),"All Providers",
SELECTEDVALUE('Providers'[Provider]))
This shows All Providers when RLS has no filters, but also shows All Providers when there are RLS filters applied, because as far as I can see RLS filters do not actually constitute a selection, and as a result everyone sees All Providers.
Providers are at the top level of a one to many model.
Any help would be much appreciated.

 

I can't schedule refresh for a web dataset with multiple pages. Problem in the Web.Contents function

Hi there,

 

I created a query to get data from the web with multiple pages. The query works fine and updates through PowerBI desktop. However, when I try to schedule a refresh I get the following message:

 

"You can't schedule refresh for this dataset because the following data sources currently don't support refresh:

  • Data source for Query1

 

Discover Data Sources

Query contains unsupported function. Function name: Web.Contents"
