Hello Everyone,
I have a Dataset which fetch the data via Rest api (POST request) from the IBM TM1 DataSource in Power Bi Desktop. It works perfectly in Power BI Desktop. After publishing the Report into Power BI Service, I would like to Schedule the Refresh for the Report.
when I Schedule for refresh, the request always consider as GET and it fails.(checked in Fiddler)
Find the screechot below:
How to pass the query as POST in Power BI Service? Thanks in advance
I have two data sets on scheduled refresh. They usually take an hour to finish, but today they are still running after 4+ hours. I tried to republish the data set, but that doesn't complete either. Is anyone else experiencing this today? They have been running fine for weeks. We have dedicated capacity on PBI premium. Can I have the admin stop the refreshes?
Hello there, I am trying to achieve the Write back functionality in Power BI report through Power Apps. I have created an App but it is not able to update the data in backend (SQL server). I am suspecting, this is happening as I am getting "View text" in the Control type option for each field used in the app. I have seen this option is showing as "Edit text" instead of "View text" in multiple videos. Due to this many people are able to update the data in backend but I am not able to do so.
Can you please suggest any solution of this. I am unable to paste any screenshot here to explain the problem in better way but if anyone can help me then please share the email address I will share the further details there.
Thanks
Prashant
Need some explanation regarding the issue we are facing around the shared datasets and the permissions on the model side. I have a premium capacity and we are letting users use this to build reports in their own workspaces. They are admins in their own workspaces and only have read and build permissions on the shared datasets. They do not reside in the workspace itself where the model is (premium capacity).
We have RLS applied to our model and AD groups to manage all these users.
When the users create their reports and share them with other business users, the users are added to the permissions. Users that are in an AD group (that have build and read permissions) are added individually again.
This does not seem correct in the way of working, can someone please help with this?
I have some web APIs that I'm trying to add as data sources to our gateway cluster. They all work just fine when I refresh them in the desktop report, but when I try to add all but 2 of them to the gateway cluster, I get a "405 method not allowed" error. When I investigate the URL, I get the error "The requested resource does not support http method 'GET'." The settings for the two successful data sources are the same as these others except for the "GET" error.
The data permissions for these items in the report are set to "anonymous" and privacy level "None". Screenshots below of what I'm seeing. Advice?
Hi,
I am trying to merge data from 2 Azure SQL dbs in dataflow. I am able to save the dataflow, but when I try to refresh the dataflow, I get the following error:

Any idea what could be the reason?
Hi,
I have created my Acess database, that is hosted on a sharepoint folder (SharePoint.Files connector).
On power BI desktop the refresh works fine.
But on Power BI service I got this error "Microsoft Access: The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine. The 64-bit version of the Access Database Engine 2010 Access Database Engine OLEDB provider may be required to read this type of file. To download the client software, visit the following site: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=285987."
I carefully checked the processor architecture of ech component (Microsoft power Bi desktop is on 64 bit, the Access Database Engine 2010 is on 64 bit also, and the Microsoft Access Database is also on 64bit).
Everyting should be fine now but I got the same error.
What is wrong now ???
Your support will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hello everyone,
I made a PowerBI report that retrieves data from a public web API.
In order to do that, it needs to provide as API parameters latitude and longitude of a point.
I retrieve those coordinates from an Excel file, which is located on a folder in the company Sharepoint.
If I refresh the report from Power BI Desktop, it works.
If I refresh the report dataset from Power BI Service, after the report is published, it does not work, providing the following error message: [Unable to combine data] Section1/Eventi/AutoRemovedColumns1 references other queries or steps, so it may not directly access a data source. Please rebuild this data combination.
I already looked for this issue and found this blog post, which is often mentioned as solution for this kind of issues:
https://www.excelguru.ca/blog/2015/03/11/power-query-errors-please-rebuild-this-data-combination/
I applied all the suggestions of that post, by loading the Excel file in a staging query and then referencing it from the query where I perform the web call, but I still get the error.
I set the privacy level for the Sharepoint folder to "Organizational" and for the API as "Public" (but I tried also with "Organizational", whith the same result).
Last note: if I embed in a query the coordinates that I want to use as parameters and reference this query from the one that retrieves API data the refresh works also from the service, but of course this is not the behavior that I desire.
Hi All,
The export to PowerPoint (PPT) is not working. For deliverables, I have to refresh my report, which is under 30 tabs, export to PPT, and deliver to a team when requested.
For weeks now, the export to PPT process has either taken hours (no exaggeration) or not completed at all. This has been a recurring issue and has inconvenienced the team and required us to manually screenshot the PPT and embed those into the deck for our deliverable. Other team members have run into a similar issue on their app.powerbi.com interface, so we are seeking a permanent solution.
Does anyone have any ideas for troubleshooting this issue? Again, the report is under the 30 tab limit and used to work swiftly (exported in 5 - 10 minutes about a month ago) but has not worked for 3 weeks straight now.
Thank you!
What is recommendation for handling scheduled refreshes on Datasets/Dataflows when you are using OAuth2 credentials to connect to a datasource?
It seems that once the access token expires, then the scheduled refresh will no longer work - and there is no way to provide a refresh token as part of the credentials.
We can work around this for some datasources by using non-expiring credentials (e.g. basic auth). But for some datasources (e.g. Dataflow), OAuth2 is the only option.
We are considering creating our own service for updating credentials and triggering the refreshes, unless there is something available in the platform we are missing?
Hello all,
I'm having troubles configuring the data gateway in our PBI reports online. When published a report, this contains values for the datsource. When configuring this online you can map these values to a gateway datasource. These are the values:
I'm unable to map these to an existing datasource on an already running gateway. The only difference are caps. Question: the values for datasource in the report, limit me in my choice for the datasource online. Is this correct? This seems so poorly designed. I need to be free in my selection for the datasource, no matter what I entered in the desktop report. The only option now is to add the source from the report to the gateway, which will mean that I have then two sources pointing two the same source. Only difference is in the values (database Sales vs sales or server BI-PRD vs bi-prd)
With mixed import mode (DirectQuery and Import) in the same dataset the data cannot be updated. In Settings there is the error: it is not possible to refresh the data because the sources is not currently compatible. is this something that will be resolved?
Thanks so much
Embedding PowerApps in Power BI rerpot using the customized PowerApps visual. PowerApps visual text is blurry when using chrome. But there is no problem when using IE or Edge, the issue is only from the chrome browser.
Is it possible to have users login to the datasource instead of storing the credentials of the developer when using a direct query against google bigquery? My experience that if you have access to the report build on the direct query model, you can see everything.
There are numerous posts on this forum about how to connect to Azure Storage when there is a firewall present. Here are some examples:
In all cases, a Microsoft representative recommends to "whitelist the IP address of the Power BI Service." This is not a reasonable answer. For one, the link being referenced is being deprecated in a couple of months (June 2020). Second of all, the referenced list of IPs is at the data center level, and accounts for thousands of IP blocks. An Azure Storage account can only support 100 IP rules in a firewall.
Either I am completely missing something, which is certainly possible, or this is a gap in Power BI Service. If I am not missing something: what is the correct way to use the Power BI Service with a secured Azure Storage account?
I am working on a report which takes advantage of the built-in stacked bar / line viz.
Using the desktop client, I can select a custom min / max value for my line chart axis, but not display those values on the axis. I do this to reposition the line chart to appear above my bar chart data (also has custom min/max.) I can turn off the display of the axes without impacting the position and bounds for my charts - the visual looks the way I want in desktop. Also pictured is a shaded area chart behind the vis in question - the axis labels are important to the alignment and proper interaction between these two visuals.
However, after publishing to the service, my report now includes labels on the secondary Y axis. If I edit the report from the service to try to prevent them from displaying, I lose the custom bounds I've set for the visual.
How can I get the visual in the service to render in the same way as in the desktop client? Is this perhaps a known issue with either the client or the service that is already being addressed?
When my report users view their list of reports in "Shared with Me" they see all of the reports associated with a workspace inwhich they are permissioned as a "Viewer". But they also see one more report: "Usage Metrics Report". This is not a report I created intentionally, I think I created it by clicking on the "Usage Metrics" action button. The problem is, anyone who has View rights in the workspace can access this report, and I cannot figure out how to delete it. I tried turining off "Usage Metrics for Content Creators" and "Per-User Data in Usage Metrics for Content Creators", including the "Delete all Exising Usage Metrics Content" checkbox, but the report is still avilable to everyone. How can I delete the "Usage Metrics Report"? It's not listed when I view all reports in the workspace, even though the "Shared With Me" page clearly indicates that it belongs to the same workspace.
Thank you
Hello, I have followed the instructions from Embed with report web part in SharePoint Online to try to embed a Power BI report into our SharePoint Online site page.
After entering the report's embed link, the 'Page Name' dropdown does not change and remains blank, as does the 'Display' dropdown.
I am guessing there is something wrong on the report side? I can view the report in the service without issue. It has no filters. We use a Premium EM2 workspace. The report is in the same tenant as our SPO.
I am signed onto SharePoint Online as the SharePoint Admin which is not a guest account. I have also tried a regular user (also not a guest). Saving and publishing results in a blank page. Do I need to grant access in the power bi service, before setting the link in the page? What am I missing?
For security purposes, Our InfoSec group required us to implement both the Data Gateway application server and a SQL database server in a DMZ outside our corporate domain. Selected corporate data will be pushed out to the SQL server via SSIS, and made available to refresh published reports via the Gateway. I'm the Gateway Administrator. We've been successful in using SSIS to move sample data to the SQL server in the DMZ, creating a Data Source entry on the Gateway to the sample data, and assigning permission to specific named users to that data source. So far, so good.
However, when one of those named users develops a report using Desktop and publishes it to the service, and then wants to change the Datasets setting in the report to use the Gateway, nothing is displayed for them under Gateway Connection; i.e. there is no available data gateway for them to select from.
As part of my troubleshooting, I obtained a copy of the sample report and published it to my workspace. When I tried changing the Datasets setting, I did see the Gateway as available. On a hunch, I made one of those report developers a Gateway Admin like myself, and he could then see the Gateway where he wasn't able to do so previously.
So what's going on here? Why can't our named users see the Gateway? Is it because it's sitting in a DMZ? If our setup means only Admins are able to use it, we will have to either enable a bunch of report developers as Gateway admins, or our current admin (me) will be spending all of my time publishing reports and configuring connections - neither of which is an acceptable solution.
Anyone else run into this? How did you solve it? Thanks in advance!
Hola amigos,
Tengo dos tablas una que es créditos y otras abonos, cada una tiene una columna de fecha. necesito saber cual es la cartera de la empresa lo estoy haciendo por medio de un LOOKUPVALUE, llevandome los abonos a la tabla creditos, pero al momento de filtro por la tabla de tiempo que esta relacionada con créditos y abonos, no genera la cartera corregida que necesita al momento de filtro una fecha se filtren los créditos y los abonos que se hizo a esa fecha, pero como lo hice con un valor de búsqueda y ya la información de abonos esta en la tabla créditos me filtran los abonos con base en la fecha de crédito, tengo que tener los abonos en la tabla créditos porque debo tener una tolerancia de 10 entre cada crédito y cada abono. soy nuevo en power bi. nariz si esto se puede hacer con medidas. esta información la tengo conectada a un cubo de servicios de análisis
