Receiving error when connecting to Salesforce objects to try to get data on PBI Desktop

$
0
0

We've been getting:

DataSource.Error: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.

 

or some similar variation or error message when attempting to pull data from Salesforce objects and have lost a month of development time due to this issue - no objects can be reliably loaded into a Power BI Desktop data model from Salesforce.

 

We have tried to work with Microsoft by opening a ticket and have sent fiddler traces and have been told the issue is an internal network proxy issue. We have worked with Salesforce who have told us it's a Microsoft issue. We have worked with our networking team and have been told that there is no issue on the network/proxy side that they can see that is blocking our connection.

 

When attempting to pull the SAME object from Tableau - no error and everything loads fine (which tells us that this isn't a network/proxy issue)....

 

I just wanted to put a post out there to see if anyone else in the community has been having any kind of issue when trying to pull objects into Power BI Desktop from Saleforce?

 

I'm on the September release 64-bit - and we didn't have this issue on the July release - everything worked fine - and then a month ago while still on the July release, our connection stopped working.

 

We upgraded to the August release but still were unable to connect or find a resolution, and now we've installed the September release but the issue persists....

 

Is this being experienced by anyone else in the community at all?

Return raw data from Mixpanel to PowerBI

$

Hi all,


I'm new to PowerBI, loving it so far. I connected Mixpanel with PowerBI and tried to export data from Mixpanel to PowerBI. However, the Invoked Function I got from the query against Mixpanel Segmentation did not return the count for event properties although I have keyed in the event property under Segment On. It only returned the date and the count for that date.

Invoked function from Mixpanel in PowerBI.png


I emailed Mixpanel Team and they said "to return the raw event data, including individual events and their properties, you'd need to query against data.mixpanel.com/export using the syntax shown in the article at this link", which means the URI should be data.mixpanel.com instead of mixpanel.com.

 

Is there any way to fix this? Would really appreciate your help. TIA Smiley Happy

 

Duong.

Hello All,

 

Currently I have a power BI report with a custom connector, which is fetching data from an API. 

 

In my report I have several functions which are getting data from API and adding or removing columns from the datset. This functions are is restricting the report to get refresh online. Now to overcome this I want to move the fuctions in connector. 

 

Is it possible to write the functions in connector and call them in report?

 

Thanks in advance.

Unable to connect Power BI to SQL server db on the same computer

I works a lot with Power Bi and Sql server, from many months, with the db on a server remote, no problems.

I have created a Sql server db on my computer, where Power BI is installed, and I can connect to SQL Server from SQL Server Management Studio(SSMS), with no problems (with windows authentications).

Using PowerBI I have the following error, fig. 2:

"Microsoft SQL: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server.
The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote a1.jpga2.jpga3.jpgconnections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)"

(with connections see fig. 1)

but the server is configured to allow remote connections, see fig. 3

Table Visualization results uncontrolled SSAS memory growth

I created a report with a table visualization running against an SSAS Live Connection. The table contained 5 dimension values and 2 measures. There were many rows of data > 1000 in some cases. The report ran without issue against SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services.

When attempting to run the report against SQL Server 2016 SSAS. The Analysis Services process started to grab more and more memory until eventually the server ran out of memory.

 

The table visualization had totals configured ON, by turning the totals OFF the problem was resiolved.

Google analytics errors

New to PowerBI - I've been through the training videos and I am trying to create a dataset from Google Analytics.

 

I want to report on the number of unique pageviews per date. 

 

I've selected Page PageViews and Time. When I try to filter the time by last 30 days I get an error:

"we can't report a single value for this dimension as it represents a rollup of multiple values whose details are not available"

 

What is the best way to extract GA data only for last x days?

 

Thanks

Unsupported Media error XML response

$

0

I'm trying to send a SOAP request to get XML data from a REST API. 

 

I tested the request on SOAP UI and also with PHP and it is working. The API needs a token and customer key to get a response from the API. When I do it on Power Query I get this error:

 

DataSource.Error: Web.Contents failed to get contents from 'https://service4.ultipro.com/services/EmployeePerson' (415): Unsupported Media Type
Details:
    DataSourceKind=Web
    DataSourcePath=https://service4.ultipro.com/services/EmployeePerson
    Url=https://service4.ultipro.com/services/EmployeePerson

I think is something with the syntax. This is my code for the request:

 

 

let
    Source = Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://service4.ultipro.com/services/EmployeePerson"
    ,[Content=Text.ToBinary("<s:Envelope xmlns:a='http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing' xmlns:s='http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope'><s:Header><a:Action s:mustUnderstand='1'>http://www.ultipro.com/services/employeeperson/IEmployeePerson/FindPeople</a:Action> <UltiProToken xmlns='http://www.ultimatesoftware.com/foundation/authentication/ultiprotoken'>6fsdfdsfsdf54acdsfsdfdsfsdf6</UltiProToken> <ClientAccessKey xmlns='http://www.ultimatesoftware.com/foundation/authentication/clientaccesskey"&Character.FromNumber(34)&">ABCDE</ClientAccessKey> </s:Header><s:Body><FindPeople xmlns='http://www.ultipro.com/services/employeeperson'><query xmlns:b='http://www.ultipro.com/contracts' xmlns:i='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'><b:EmployeeNumber /> <b:FirstName> <b:FormerName /> <b:FullOrPartTime /> <b:Job /> <b:LastHire /> <b:LastName /> <b:Location /> <bSmiley SurprisedriginalHire /> <bSmiley TongueageNumber /> <bSmiley TongueageSize /> <bSmiley TongueayGroup /> <bSmiley FrustratedupervisorLastName /> <b:TerminationDate /> <b:TimeClockId /> </query></FindPeople></s:Body></s:Envelope>"),Headers=[#"Accept-Encoding"="gzip,deflate", #"Accept"="Basic fsdfdsfdsfdsMjAxNyE=", #"Content-Type"="text/xml;charset=UTF-8"]]
)),
    Table1 = Source{1}[Table],
    Table0 = Table1{0}[Table],
    Table2 = Table0{0}[Table],
    Table3 = Table2{0}[Table],
    Table4 = Table3{0}[Table],
    Table5 = Table4{1}[Table],
    Table6 = Table5{0}[Table],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Table6,{{"CompanyCode", type text}, {"EmployeeNumber", Int64.Type}, {"FirstName", type text}, {"LastName", type text}})
in
    #"Changed Type"

I tried switching text/xml to application/xml and got same error.

According to this website: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/415

The error is hapenning because the server refuses to accept the request because the payload format is in an unsupported format.

 

But I already have a header for xml. Maybe I have to code this differently because the request to the service needs to include a token and customer key?

 

Or https://service4.ultipro.com/services/EmployeePerson is not compatible with power query?

 

Thank you in advance

I've created a dashboard with several row based security profiles created and on my desktop and online it's perfect, even when I view as Role on the desktop all appears fine.  However, my regional managers keeps getting "Can't Display the Visual" errors for all supporting data behind the tiles.  I can't replicate this issue at all, so I don't know how to fix it.

Hello,

Stream Analytics from another azure account?

$

I have an Azure account which is under my personal microsoft account (so when I sign in, i click personal, not school or work). Using the same email address it appears I also have a power BI account, but from what I am reading this has been created as a work account. Now I'm trying to connect the two somehow so I can use the data from stream analytics in a powerBI report. Is this possible?

It seems odd that I can't sign in to PowerBI with my personal microsoft account and still get full functionality as that would simplify this greatly. If anyone can help with how this is done, either online or via PowerBI desktop, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Power BI - SAP BW object's technical name

Hello, 

 

We are using Power BI SAP BW direct connector to integrate data from SAP BW in Power BI Desktop. We are connected to domain and able to communicate with SAP BW server, but we have a problem with BW Object's technical names, it doesn't show up after importing measures and dimensions in the report Power BI, it's exposing only physical names of those objects.  

 

Please share if you have any suggestions. 

Thanks, 

 

Best regards,

Power BI community help needed, re: Salesforce objects connector

$

Hello Power BI community - if your company uses Salesforce, I'm coming to you all with a request.

We were using the objects connector in Power BI with tremendous success to build dashboards in qual and Prod environments in SF until it just stopped working on August 8th.

While we do have a support ticket open with Microsoft, and their support team thus far has pointed to credential issues on the SF side or proxy network issues on our company side as being the root cause, the network proxy and SF development teams continue to think it's a break in the Power BI software side, since this is the only third party software that we can't connect to SFDC from.

We first experienced issues on the July release and continued to see issues in the August and September releases. I should note it did work in the July release until it didn't.

On a similar post from a few days ago Microsoft said they were able to connect without issue, but our teams would like to note our issues aren't solely not being able to connect, because we can login to SFDC from PowerBI using SSO, but when it comes to actually loading objects or manipulating data in any way we receive an error that says "DataSource Error: The underlying connection was closed on a send."

Where I could use more data points to make a case for/against this being a Power BI issue:

Using the September release:
1) can you connect to Salesforce objects using the Salesforce objects connector?
2) can you perform a simple function such as splitting a column on a large object (&gt;100k rows)
3) can you load that object to your data model?
4) if yes on #3, can you load more than one object thats been manipulated in query editor first?
5) if yes for any/all - do you use SSO to authenticate login to Salesforce or manually enter username/pw to connect to SF?
6) optional - your company name

As many datapoints as the community is able to provide would be greatly appreciated. We're all at a loss and still can't pinpoint the root.

Thanks much!

I have two tables named accounts and opportunities both are retrieved from CRM Online. I have limited my account table to about 70 accounts using a select statement when data is restrived.

When retrieving opportunities I just retrieve all data avalible and therefore there are many opportunities that does not belong to an account in the account table.

How to I make sure that only opportunities that are linked to an account are included in my dashboard?

I’m sure that file exists and all necessary permissions are granted.

Gateway connection test proves that:

Hello,

We have hosted Project Online instance and I am trying to connect Power BI Desktop to our Odata feed with organization account but I'm always returned the following message.

Details: "We couldn’t authenticate with the credentials provided. Please try again"

My user account of office 365 has the following licenses:

  1. Power BI Pro

Hope for help.
