Hi,
Wondering if someone could help me out on a problem with refreshing an uploaded report.
Error message: Unable to refresh the model (modelid=xxxx) because it references an unsupported data source
I have created a report using the PowerBI desktop. The report is set up to get data from a Project Online instance (pwa) and also from several project rooms (sharepoint). The data from the project rooms are pure Sharepoint lists and the project rooms are subareas of the pwa-instance. From the desktop client update works fine. I upload the report, but when I try to refresh from the web, it fails with the error message specified above. (BTW: I have filed a support ticket on the matter, but still no feedback on it
)
The report is set up with some staging queries. I have one configuration query which is manually set up in the editor. I use this to easily filter out project etc that I want to get data about. When accessing the OData api in pwa i use settings in here to filter data. When accessing Sharepoint project rooms, I use informasjon from ProjectID query (which also access to Prosjektsettinger) to get the sharepoint list service url for each project.
I would also axcept then when I had published the report to web, that I would be able (and required) to edit/enter credentials for the report, but the option is not there at all. I have other reports working fine with automatic refresh so I have no clue what I hit this error. As I have spent a lot of time creating these reports I also are reluctant to throw it away.
Could it be a bug in PowerBI?
BTW: I have published a post in LinkedIn on portfolio and project reporting with Project Online(pwa) and powerBI. There are some more details on the queries there if it may be of interest ( sadly the supporting text is in Norwegian, but reading the queries might be possible).
