Linking Table Error
I have 2 files I need to link by 2 columns. I uploaded links to sequel tables but everything needs to be linked by site and supplier ID
it won't let me do it. site (thousands of lines) and supplier ID (thousands of lines) so - many to many - but that isn't an option. The site / Supplier ID combination is unique. Is there a way to do this? (example - the same supplier ID could be used for a different supplier - by site) so I have to be able to link them together for reporting.

linking 2 fields in multiple tables
I have 2 tables I need to link by 2 fields.
Site / Supplier ID - each site "could" use the same supplier ID for a different supplier - so those 2 fields need to be linked to make the relationship unique. Is there a way to do that?

Data source from web page with drop-down slicers?
Hey guys,
I am trying out new things and wanted to find out, if it is possible to gather large amounts of data from a website.
The problem is that the list of data is sorted and can be accessed by using built in slicers.
Here is a similar source of the data that I am talking about: link
Basically, you can choose only 1 parameter from each drop-down.
Is there a way to access all of the data all at once?
I have looked for answers, but have found nothing that would help me!
Hope that there is an answer to my question.

Power BI integration with Salesforce Big objects
Hi,
We got Big objects in Salesforce application and now our customer want us to built Power BI reports using these salesforce big objects instead of custom objects.
I have seen, we can use the salesforce custom objects online but there is no such option to integrate Big objects directly with Power BI.
Please let me know if there is any way to get the Big Objects from Salesforce in Power BI for the online reporting?.
Thanks

Gateway failing with mysql data sources
Hey team,
Lately I have been getting errors on the gateway on data sources that query from two different mysql databases. On Power BI Desktop, everything gets manually refreshed, but on the gateway, I have been getting credential errors, although everything is properly setup.
In order to test it, I ran the following test:
Published two different datasets (each querying from individual databases), and the refresh worked properly.
Whenever I tryied adding two databases into the same dataset, the refresh failed through the gateway.
Did anyone face this issue? I have been trying to find a solution for this error for weeks, and unfortunately, got no success.

Choosing a JIRA board
Hi all,
I've managed to connected our cloud-based JIRA solution with Power BI; it looks great and I'm looking forward to playing with it some more.
I was hoping for some advice on what I'm guessing is a pretty basic action - how do I change which JIRA board is being displayed in my data? Is it a case of using a different URL? I've tried to connnect using the URL from my own team's board but it seems to be defaulting to a different (now defunct) team's board.
Many thanks,
Sam

Power BI Full Screen mode in Internet Explorer shrinks to a tiny square
When a PowerBI dashboard is embedded in an Office 365 SharePoint page, it displays fine in Chrome browser when you click on "Full Screen" arrow icon. When you do the same in Internet Explorer, it shrinks to a tiny box with no way of making it expand to actually use full screen.

Confused on where to add access/permissions:app workspace and group workspace and Teams integration
I created a Dashboard and Report to document the sign-ups and such , let's call it "DB/Report A" from a website then I created Google Analytics report (from a content pack) based on that same website. Unfortunately, our team wants it in the same report so I have to recreate the Google Analytics report within the first report because you can't combine these reports in an app or even add elements of the Google Analytics report to the DB/Report A. (another frustrating issue and limitation but not my primary reason for posting questions)
Issue and Questions:
I set up both in an app and gave access to the app to the required people, actually org wide. However, my boss wanted me to add them into TEAMS where you add a Power BI report tab.
This only lets you add a WORKSPACE or reports (not apps and not dashboards) within a workspace.
1) why can’t you add apps there? Is that coming?
2) Now I have to go into the workspace and add members when I’ve already done it in the app. Seems like I’m duplicating work to have to do twice and what’s the point of having both?
3) now they can’t go to the dashboard, they have to use the report because that’s all I can see Teams will let you add.
Secondary issue: The other frustrating issue that I would like to be able to do even though Apps can’t be shared through Teams tabs: Can you combine your report and a content pack report into one app? Like DB/Report A and the Google Analytics one? This way you send 1 link to 1 app and the content is related.

Find out about installed gateways
Is there any way to find out about all installed gateways and their admins? I understand that there's no way to control who's allowed to install a gateway. So is there at least a way how to find out who did so?

How to refresh data from company's network
At the current state (below), co-workers can't refresh data.
Data is from organization's network URLs, HTML tables.
I assume - PBI Service is trying to connect to organization's URLs but doesn't have credentials. But me, the publisher, and co-workers do have the credentials.
[ Intranet ] --- (data from URL) ---> [ PBI Desktop ] --- (publish) ---> [ PBI Service ] --- (share) ---> Co-workers
What are my solutions in this situation?
1. Publishing report to workspace and taking its dataset over on PC with gateaway (personal mode) installed.
2. ?

How to utilise stored procedure with temp tables in Power BI?
I'd like to use stored procedure containing temp tables as data source for Power Bi.
I've tried:
[Query="EXECUTE [kpi].[KPI_NV]"])
and
Sql.Database("CZPHADDWH01\DEV","DWH_Staging",[Query="EXECUTE [kpi].[KPI_NV]"])
which both raises an error
Details: "Microsoft SQL: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'Database'. Unclosed quotation mark after the character string '])'."
Using openquery (not prefered)
SELECT*FROMOPENQUERY([CZPHADDWH01\DEV],'EXEC DWH_Staging.kpi.KPI_NV')
which raises
Details: "Microsoft SQL: The metadata could not be determined because statement 'INSERT #Regions (RegionId,[SalesRegionName]) SELECT [SalesRegionId],[SalesRegionName] FROM dim' in procedure 'KPI_NV' uses a temp table."

wunderground.com - API setup
Hiya!
I'm an intermediate user of PBI and have only a very-very basic understanding on web programming. Now I've been tasked to use the Wunderground API in Power BI. Could someone please get me to the right direction how to make a start on this? Are there any step-by-step guides out there using APIs as data sources and PBI - maybe specifically for Wunderground?
I've been seeking for info on this topic for days but with little success. Have gone through this: https://tektuts.com/power-bi-tutorial-create-a-weather-dashboard/ but Wunderground's API seems to be far more complex to tackle than this.
Thanks!

Narratives API issue
hello,
we want to experiment with Narratives for Power BI but are not able to get it working. Even with a sample dataset of 4 records with 1 dimension and 1 value
| Group | QTY |
| A | 10 |
| B | 20 |
| C | 25 |
| D | 77 |
We get the failure of
"Could not write a story because the narrative extension could not interpret the data or there was an issue with the Narratives for Power Bi API"
We tested that there's no firewall blocking, e.g. we can reach https://api.quillengage.com/v1/report
Is the app not working anymore maybe?

Help connecting to a data source
HI there
Hope someone can help. I work in a elementery/middle school and I am trying desperately to connect powerBI with our student information system. The company allows me to access the backend of the data which I am using via pgAdmin, I can go into here after typing in our credentials and query the database, now I am really really wanting to connect to powerBI so I can produce amazing reports/dashboards etc. I want to create dashboards that make the data easy to read for teachers so we can pickup on issues far quicker than we are now and make it a living document.
How do I connect to PowerBI? Am I able to make an ODBC connector with the details I have from pgadmin or I have been hearing about using postgreSQL. I don't know hwo to do this and we have limited resources, anyone out there able to help me big time?
Appreciate any support on this

On-Premises Data Gateway - Options for Authenticating To Analysis Services Via Service Account
My issue is related very close to this post:
Here is the contents of that post:
"Is it possible for a user to view a Power BI Report that is connected to a Analysis Services Datasource via the On Premisise Data Gateway, but NOT have access to the datasource itself?
I would like to explain our situation / issue to see if I am understanding this correctly and if anyone has any suggestions. We have a Data Cube on Anlysis Services that has complex and sensitive data in it. We have several "Power Users" in our company who understand the data well, and want to build reports / dashboards off of it, that they can share with their departments ("End Users"). The Power Users are the only ones who we want to give access to the Data Cube, because we don't want an end user to be emailed a spreadsheet and change a report, as they could create an incorrect report, by removing an important filter for example, and make decisons based on incorrect data.
We were hoping this is where Power BI could help us. We have built some reports in Power BI. The Power BI Reports are connected to the Analysis Services Datasource via the On Premisise Data Gateway. We then shared the report with the end users via an App. The end user has a liscence to Power BI Pro, access to the App but not the data source. The Gateway Data Source is using an Admin Account for authentication.
When the end users opens the Report from the App, none of the visuals display for them, I beleive because they do not have access the datasource.
Is there anyway, that we can have Power BI authenticate to the data source with differerent credentials than the user has logged in to Power BI with? We want to share the data with users on our terms, we don't want the users to be able to get access to the data and build their own reports off of it. If we give access to the Data Cube for Power BI reasons, they could potentially connect to the same data source via Excel, which we don't want."
Here is the additional piece I am trying to figure out:
What about in the case of doing row level security? For instance if I change the mapping of the user running the report to a domain service account (same idea as presented in the referenced posted ealier but not referencing a power user name) that has access to the cube in a certain role that has Dynamic RLS logic. The system will not recognize the user running the report, because the service account will be mapped as the EffectiveUserName. I had the thought well if I can map a service account then I could pass in the username of the person running the report via the CustomData field and configure the Dynamic RLS logic to reference the CustomData field since it would contain the username running the report. I am currently able to do this in SSRS 2016 in a shared data connection. I cannot tell the gateway to send the customdata field the connection string, since I put a mapping rule on the Effective user name to map the user to the domain service account. Thoughts? How can I accomplish this issue?
Environment:
SSAS 2017
On Premise Data Gateway (December 2017 Release)
Have a local domain

Get Data
We have significant deployment of Power BI to several thousand users where we have had to obtain specific permission to store specified data in the cloud.
If a user clicks on Get Data and uploads their own data into My Workspace, is the uploaded data also stored in the cloud?
If Yes, can you turn off the capability of allowing users to upload their own data into their own workspace?
If you are wondering why this might be needed - Many users have access to data that we are not quite ready to allow in the cloud at this time
Thanks for all reponses

Not able to connect to all tables at SQL server DDBB of Dynamics NAV 2016
I am perfectly able to connect to my SQL Server and the DDBB of Dynamics Nav 2016.
The problem starts that PowerBI does not show all the available tables.
It starts alfabeticly and at the third company it doews no show more tables.
As the company y want to connect to star with the letter "H" y cant see it because it only deplys tables until the "E"
It is a DDBB with 9 diferente companies.
Really y only want to connect to 2 companies, the rest has no interest for me, but it is impossible.

Using SSRS Data Feed as a source for Power BI
Hi,
I try to leverage a SSRS report as a data source to Power BI via the Data Feed / OData functionality. So I open the report, export it as a Data Feed, take the URL from the feed and try to use it as OData source in Power BI. I use Windows authentication. However I receive an error like:
Details: "Microsoft.Mashup.Engine1.Library.Resources.HttpResource: Request failed:
OData Version: 3 and 4, Error: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error. (Server Error)
OData Version: 4, Error: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error. (Server Error)
OData Version: 3, Error: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error. (Server Error)"
Any idea? It's SQL 2016 (13.0.2149.0) with the newest build of Power BI (January 2018)
Thanks...
