Multiple reports using same SSAS model causing redundant datasets?

March 28, 2020, 10:27 am
$

0

Wanted to get some help in understanding datasets and if my implementation is "best practice" or inefficient.  I fear it may be inefficient.

 

We have a SQL Server Analysis Services model based on a data warehouse and a few additional datasets.  Its one main SSAS model that we primarily use.  Whenever we create a new Power BI report, we connect to this SSAS model via live connection.  When we post the report to the Service, it creates a new dataset.  Thus we have several datasets which technically refer back to the one SSAS model.

 

I feel like this is potentially redundant data in the datasets.  Our main SSAS model is kind of an 'all encompassing model' which has many data tables in it and not every report uses every data table, maybe 3-5 tables out of 20 depending on the purpose of each report. Some reports overlap a bit.

 

How does this sound to you guys? Is there a more efficient way?  Not sure if it's possible but one thought of mine is to create 1 dataset made up of our main SSAS model and then each PBI report we create connects to this dataset/model in the Power BI Service; but not sure if that's ideal or possible.

 

Would love feedback and thank you!

Which service to use PBI Embedded or PBI Premium - New Startup for SaaS BI Products

Hi Community, 

My name is Shabi and from a very very small startup (just 2 of us) lookig for some suggestion. We've spent hours in reading the documents/postings but we just needed directions in a setup for us:

 

What we have:

We're planning to build BI for a particular industry and we have potential leads to build the products to atleast 3 customers to start with. All the customers will have same reporting needs (of course with different datasets) but different sizes. We did our demos using PBI Embedded. 

 

Embedded Option:

With this option, we might be creating 3 PBI-Embedded Service (since all the 3 will be in different capacity) with turn off / on options to save some money

 

Power BI Premium:

With one Plan, we might be able to serve 3 different customers at 3 different capacity/workspaces but our concern is that we may not be getting all the 3 customers at the same time. That means we'll be burning money until more customers onboarded to share the cost

 

Please advise:

  • As an indepdent startup, we were comfortable in doing Embedded - but after understanding power bi premium with more capabilites, we kind of in dilemma. 
  • The customer onboarded may or may not have anything to with Microsoft office/dynamics relationship, will that be an issue with Premium planss?

Please pardon for asking fundamental type questions ..

 

Thanks,

Shabi

Effective username doesn't change

Hi Experts,

 

I am using SSAS tabular model to show/hide column from specific users. So i defined 2 Roles in this SSAS DB, Client 1 and Client 2. I added myself in role of Client 1 and added a colleague of mine in Client 2 role group. Also i am admin of this SSAS server.

 

Now, on the power BI side i created a report using this SSAS data source and published the report on Power BI service.

Also i created a Enterprise gateway so that others can access this dataset/report. For this gateway i added my account to do all refresh operations as i am SSAS server admin.

 

Now, ideally if my colleague refreshes this dataset his username should be passed as EffectiveUsername to the SSAS db but using SQL Profiler i see the effective username is mine always. I am in total dilemma why this is happening.

 

I did the same thing as said in this video: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-gateway-enterprise-manage-ssas#role-based-security

 

I don't know what am i missing here.

 

Please help.

Goodmorning everyone.


I have a problem related to a "device not ready" and this does not allow me to update the file in Power Bi.
The Excel file is the one I have always used and I have not changed anything and therefore I cannot understand why this error.
All Excell files are on the Azure cloud like the Power Bi file as it always has been.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi Everyone, good afternoon.

 

I try to create a new data source via the company email account, and I have successfully configured the on-premises data gateway.

While when I add my data stored in the local folder to Gateway, the 'Windows username' and 'password' are invalid. Moreover, the same problem happened again when I was using Microsoft Flow to connect the local folder path.

 

Really thanks for your time and consideration, the error message text and screenshots are shown below:

Shapes is not consistant in placement

Hi,

I have created a report where I have used shapes in the form of lines to have guidelines in different tables in my report. The lines have the right placement for me in the desktop, the workspace, and in the app - but for some end users, the lines are offset on some of the pages (and sometimes just some of the tables). To me, it looks right every time I open the report, anywhere and in different browsers. Does anyone have any suggestions on where the problem might lie?

I have tried to lock the location with the "lock aspect", create the table and reposition the lines and group the table and guidelines, but the same problem is constantly emerging.

DirectQuery w. Oracle: An invalid connection string has at least one of the passed arguments

March 30, 2020, 1:42 am
$

I have published a report that uses DirectQuery against an Oracle database. I also have a Power BI Gateway set up.

 

All my normal reports work using the Gateway, but the Direct Query one causes this error:

 

"An invalid connection string has at least one of the passed arguments which does not meet the parameter specification"

 

The Gateway logs contain this error:

"Non-gateway exception encountered in activity scope: System.ArgumentException: Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed."

 

Oracle database is v. 12.

Gateway is version 30000.8.452 (August 2019)
It is running on a virtual pc with Windows Server 2016.

Gateway pc has Oracle ODAC client 12.2.0.1.0 (32 bit)

 

I have looked in the GAC and neither Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.dll nor Oracle.DataAccess.dll is installed. Also, neither machine.config files (32- and 64 bit) contain a DbProvider reference to these dlls.
However, all the normal Import reports are working fine despite of this.

 

What I have tried:

Upgrading Power BI Gateway to newest version

Installing Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.dll into the GAC, and updating machine.config with a DbProvider reference
Installing Oracle Client 19 and removing Oracle Client 12

 

I have spent several days on this problem but the error never changes.

Hi,

 

I currently have a desktop model which is connected to a mix of sharepoint files and our data warehouse. I do not yet have a gateway establsised for the datawarehouse tables so I have disabled these tables from being refreshed during a report refresh. Despite this when I try to refresh the report in service I am getting the gateway error. Is this an oversight from the powerbi developers or is there something else I need to disable?

 

thanks.

Power BI Service API authentication (Freshservice)

March 30, 2020, 6:58 am
$

Hi all,

 

I'm pulling data from an API in an application called Freshservice (maybe there's someone out there using a similar source). In Desktop, it works perfectly, but I cannot get Service to authenticate.

 

This is my query source in Desktop:

 

Source = Csv.Document(Web.Contents("[API URL]", [Headers=[#"Content-Type"="application/csv", Authorization="Basic <[API key converted to Base64]>"]]),[Delimiter=",", QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.Csv])

Authentication is built in and it works fine. A refresh in Service however always generates the same error:

"The 'Authorization' header is only supported when connecting anonymously. These headers can be used with all authentication types: Accept, Accept-Charset, Accept-Encoding, Accept-Language, Cache-Control, Content-Type, If-Modified-Since, Prefer, Range, Referer"

 

It will not accept Anonymous, nor will it accept any combination of API key, encoded API key, username/password for the application.  

 

I've been down many a rabbit hole on this one. Most people seem to have issues with the API url or pulling a limited number of records. None seem to differentiate between Desktop/Service. It's frustrating that one works and the other doesn't, but should Desktop be following a different method that allows Service to also connect?
