Subscribe to Power BI Workspace with date filter up to date

$

0

Hallo Everyone,

 

I have a question regarding the Subscription in Power Bi workspace and App. 

It works pretty well;however the filter of the date if not updated. In this sense I would get the same report over and over with the same date. 

Is there a way to get around it?

COPY AND PASTE data from a column in Power Bi service

$

Hi,

 

I have a report in power BI Service with tables on it. Filters are provided to narrow the research.

 

Is it possible to copy and paste elsewhere only some data from a column only? I can see it is possible  to select only a single value or export the file and copy and paste. users don't want to export every time they have to select few rows of a column.

 

thank you

In myworkspace I have a dataset.

 

I have added users as "build" and added them to the gateway datasource also.

 

How Can I get them visibility of the datsset in "myworkspaces" so they can refresh this manually themselves?

 

dataflow - connecting issue with azure analysis service - Configure Connection

I am trying to connect power bi dataflow to Azure Analysis Server. I have windows authentication.
I created the script (m query) in power bi desktop and tested it to run and refresh in power bi services - it works.

a simple script like this:

script code.PNG

 

---------
I created a blank query in power bi dataflows and pasted the above script
The first issue i got [1]:
The evaluation was cancelled because it contained a native database query for the data source with kind "AnalysisServices" and path "asazure://northeurope.asazure.windows.net/XXXX;XX
Finance Model". Native queries may be unsafe and alter the database. Click Continue to allow all native queries to run.

(not a problem, clicking continue moves the process forward)

once i click on the continue button i receive the following instruction:
Please specify how to connect.
a button is there: Configure Connection

[3]
next after clicking configure connection :

a pop up appears : enter credentials
I choose organisational account with my current sign in and click "Connect".

 
 

[4]
Next :
I am returned to the "Please specify how to connect" screen with the button "configure connection" - back to [2]

I am stuck in an endless loop.  Any idea on the issue I am facing?

Power BI Report Usage Metrics not showing usernames

Hello Team,

 

1. I am not getting the user names in User Metrics of PBI Services. Its showing 'Unnamed User'. Row level security is also done in the report. Anything else needs to be done?

 

2. And also I have accessed the report from at least 5 login IDs, but still it's showing 1 unique viewer.  Please find the screenshot.

Decimals Truncated with Direct Query in Workspace

$
0
0

Developing a set of reports using Direct Query (DQ) connecting to a set of Redshift tables. Going reasonably well, now encountered something I can't resolve.

 

In Power BI Desktop, when I do calculations on a number with decimals (i.e. not a whole number), the calculations work fine but when I publish the report/dataset to a Power BI Workspace, it truncates the decimals leading to incorrect results that don't match the exact same report when viewed in Power BI Desktop.

 

I looked at the SQL that was executed by each and see what I think explains the problem, but not why it works differently in Desktop vs Workspace.

 

The specific value (in this case, called "osat") is being retrieved in PBI Desktop using the following: 

sum(cast("osat" as decimal(38, 6))) as "C1",
 
As you can see, the cast is using a 38,6 size argument.
 
The exact same measure/visual in PBI Workspace is executing the following:
sum(CAST("osat" AS DECIMAL)) as "C1",
 
As you can see, this expression has no size and this causes the decimal places to be truncated and the calculations in the report to be both wrong and different from PBI Desktop.
 
Thanks for any help.

Credentials Used to Connect

Is there a way in the Power BI service to see which credentials are being used for a dataset? I know that I can go to the Datasets tab and see my datasets, and under there I see "Data source credentials" and there is an edit link. What I'm looking for is something to tell me which account is currently used. (Obviously, showing the password is not a good idea. I can also see how revealing the account might be a security issue as well, but I am looking at a dataset and it's using OData to connect, but I can't tell which account!)

Hello friends,
Some questions I would love for your answers
1. I created a new group and put in the emails of the users I wanted to be inside, how can I know that they are the only that can see this group?
2. If I'm posting to a group or creating a new report I want them to be notified by email or another form, is that possible?

Dataset taking a long time to refresh

$

Hi,

 

I have a dataset that gathers data from 6 different SQL views with the max number of rows in any one of the views around 1,000.

 

If I refresh the dataset in Power BI Desktop it usually takes seconds, but it can take up to a minute depending on network traffic. The problem I have is that the same dataset refresh on powerbi.com takes anything from a minute upto 45 minutes. 

 

I appreciate there are additional variables with the web service vs the desktop refresh, but I just feel something is not quite right. I'm trying to debug the problem but I can't see anywhere I can monitor or track exactly what powerbi.com is doing when the dataset is being refreshed.

 

Has anyone come up against this issue before and did you manage to find a solution?

 

Thanks very much in advance,

 

Chris

Share report with external users

Hi all, I want to share my report with external users.

I just follow the article:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-share-dashboards#share-a-dashboard-or-report-with-...

And I make sure our company have enabled the function of sharing with externals:

Share with externals.JPG

When I try to share the report by a pro trial account with another pro trial external account, I have recevied a notification that my report is successfully shared, but meanwhile, this external account don't have acces to my report, and didn't receive any notice in his mailbox neither. I check then the share list, there is no one except myself.

 

So I wonder if there is others parameters necessary or steps to follow to share my report with external users? Or maybe because I used a trail account?

 

Really thanks for your help!

 

Best regards,

PBI Secure Embed - passing filters to url

Have a problem with passing a filter correctly to an embedded url.

This is he filter I would like my report page to be filtered:

 

&$filter=’Main Table’/’Sales Level’ eq 'AMERICAS'

 

When appending this to my report url, the page is opened but the filter is not applied.

Here is a full url. 

 

https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed?reportId=XXXXautoAuth=true &pageName=ReportSectione776ca6d6b28d8e363c4&$filter=’Main Table’/’Sales Level’ eq 'AMERICA'

 

 

 

 

Initial Incremental Refresh Fail

$

Set up my first Incremental Refresh. It ran for 8 hours on the Service and then failed with the following error message:

 

{"error":{"code":"DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_TimeoutError","pbi.error":{"code":"DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_TimeoutError","parameters":{},"details":[],"exceptionCulprit":1}}}

 

Would it help if I initially upload the .pbix with most of the data loaded (thru the Desktop) already? In other words, if, in the Desktop, I set the RangeStart and RangeEnd dates to encompass most of the data would the Service still try to refresh that large range on its first refresh or would it instead only go after the data after the RangeEnd parameter? I hope that makes sense.

 

Or is there something else entirely going on here?


Convert normal published dataset to "Push"

$

Hello Experts,

 

We have a requirement where each client has its own custom fields like "Client 1" has fields "Column 1" & "Column 2" in a table "Custom Fields". And other client, "Client 2" has field "Column 3" in same table. The LDM and relationship of this table with other tables in the model are same.

Option 1: If i pass Client Id as parameter to get the correct fields relating to that client, works in Power BI desktop but doesn't work on Power BI Service.

To resolve option 1 issue i need to add/update fields using PowerShell cmdlets like "Set-PowerBITable" in the published dataset.

This isn't allowed as that dataset isn't a Push Dataset. So i am stuck here as of now and need some help.

Only Option i have is open the report/dataset in Power BI desktop, then change "Client Id" parameter and apply changes to see fields related to that client in the table, and then publish it for each client/workspace. This isn't ideal solution since we have like 1000+ clients.

 

Regards,

Amar

Initial PBI Setup - Security, Refreshing, SQL Querying

$
0

Hi folks, new to PBI and astounded at the possibilities! We're a manufacturing outfit trying to move into the 21st century in terms of KPI and performance metrics. The idea is wherever employees are in the world, they need access to data to analyze problem root causes, inform strategic decisions, and have a handle on company health. You get the idea.

 

My management team just approved PBI Pro licenses for about 30 of our 50 or so employees, and put me in charge of the whole thing. I know full well that the effort runs deeper and covers more territory than what I realize, and so I'm asking for some direction from you seasoned and brave PBI veterans.

 

I know our database intimately, am learning SQL, and have two guys that don't know Power BI but are masters of SQL. I know what the end result looks like (more or less), have begun building SQL views, security groups, function-specific Teams (within MS Teams) and PBI dashboards/reports, but we are struggling to connect up all the pieces. The data isn't refreshing at all when users view the dashboards (or are they reports?), users just get blank screens from the app site, there's some concern about upper management-level info being accessible by employees that don't need to know, etc. 

 

The questions: what should I be reading, or what kinds of courses should I be taking to best lead this project? Is it realistic to think I can do this with my team of 3 over a year's time? Do I need to bring someone in who already knows this stuff?

 

Thanks folks.

Issue with Custom dashboard theme

We are using custom theme to format the dashboards on the workspaces. The formatting is appearing temporarily, but if we close it and re-navigate back to the workspace the custom theme format doesn't stay. To get the custom formatting we have to refresh every time when we land on the dashboard page.

 

We have lot of workspaces on our node and many dashboards are impacted.

Creating new dataflow with existing code from dataset

Hi,

 

I constructed a dataset and visualizations in Power query editor of Power BI desktop. I uploaded the pbix file to Power BI Service. It works fine. I want to change this file to use a data flow instead. I was wondering is there an easy way to import the source M code I created to the dataflow instead of going to every table in editor and copying and pasting it to dataflow?

 

Thanks!

 

Jason
