Users can't see content for Power BI app report in (modern) SharePoint

$
0
0

We are trying to embed reports from a Power BI app into SharePoint (no access restrictions, open to all in the organization).  What we are finding is that users are not able to view the content.  The only way they can see it is if they themselves also download the app in Service.  This may be find with power users and report designers, but it defeats the SharePoint experience for all other users.

 

I asked around at this last weekend's SQL Saturday, and was informed that it should work, we just need to make sure that the users are listed in both the O365 group as well as the Power BI workspace.  Seeing as how PBI workspaces are currently still connected to O365 groups, I knew this was already the case, but we went ahead and confirmed.

 

I will open a support ticket, but just thought I would make mention of it here.  If there is something else that we may want to check or may have missed, then please let me know and we will look into it.

 

Thanks!

Hello,

 

when I try to get data from my new Dynamics365 trial  I receive error:

" The feed's metadata document appears to be invalid."

 

the same on PowerBi Desktop on api version 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and 9.0

 

maybe it is because it s brand new trial and not everything behind the scenes has been setup?

OAuth2 reverting back to Anonymous - OneDrive Excel File

$
0
0

Hello,

 

I recently updloaded a PBI desktop file to the service that uses 7 different Excel workbooks stored in OneDrive for Business as the data source. I connected all of them per the documentation ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-use-onedrive-business-links ) and am having some issues.

 

The first issue I noticed is that I did not get any option for the "hourly" refresh that is touted with OneDrive use in PBI. There was also no message or text anywhere stating this was the case. Upon investigating, I saw that the authentication method for all 7 files in the PBI service was set to "Anonymous" even though I had initially set them all to "OAuth2" per PBI documentation. When I changed them to OAuth2 again, I noticed that this setting does not save and they immediately go back to the Anonymous authentication.

 

Could this be the reason I am not seeing the hourly refresh and if so, how can I fix it? Thank you!

Get API data in XML format and transform

Hello there, anyone have luck pulling data froma web api (that comes in in XML nested format) and turning it into the right data table for building reports with?

The data looks like this:

 <reportDataDTO>
        <childReports>
            <childReport>
                <dataRows>
                    <dataRow>
                        <entries>
                            <entry>
                                <attributeName>lradName</attributeName>
                                <dataValue>AP21</dataValue>
                                <displayName>AP Name</displayName>
                            </entry>
                            <entry>
                                <attributeName>ipAddress_address</attributeName>
                                <dataValue>10.1.1.1</dataValue>
                                <displayName>AP IP Address</displayName>
                            </entry>
                            <entry>
                                <attributeName>macAddress</attributeName>
                                <dataValue>21:23:d4:e4:11:50</dataValue>
                                <displayName>Base Radio MAC</displayName>
                            </entry>
                            <entry>
                                <attributeName>apNeighborName</attributeName>
                                <dataValue>Cat21.domain.lcl</dataValue>
                                <displayName>Neighbor Name</displayName>
                            </entry>
                            <entry>
                                <attributeName>apNeighborPort</attributeName>
                                <dataValue>FastEthernet0/10</dataValue>
                                <displayName>Neighbor Port</displayName>
                            </entry>
                        </entries>
                    </dataRow>

              </dataRows>

            </childReport>
        </childReports>
    </reportDataDTO>

 

no matter how I split out the data and unpivot or change I can't get the "dataRow" info to show up as rows. I get to a point that I can get "entry" to be a column with each row showing as "Table" and then if I highlight a row with "Table" in it I can see the data but it is by row not by column. I need either the attributeName or the displayName values to be the column headers with the dataValue values to be the data (if that makes sense). Seems obvious from the XML since "entries" is a row of data so any help with the transform would be welcome

thanks

Accessing Instagram followers per page in PBI

$

Hi everyone, 

Has anybody managed to set up a decent data connection between Instagram and Power BI?  They do have a web API but unfortunately its extremely limited in terms of endpoints. 

For example I've had clients ask for information like total followers per page and unfortunately even this very basic info isn't accesible.

As the data is all publicly available on Instagram it seems weird that it should be so hard to get it into PBI.  I wonder if there is a clever way to connect to the user's web page and somehow parsing the html to get the relevant info?

Thanks in advance for any help

sharepoint folder empty

Trying to load files from Sharepoint  in Power Bi Desktop and having issues. Basically, I'm puttting an Excel file in the app workspace document library. When connecting to this Sharepoint site in Power BI Desktop (Sharepoint folder source), I'm not seeing any files.

 

I tried with another app workspaces and it's working fine.

 

Note that I'm admin of both groups.

 

Any ideas where to look?

Filtering the PowerApps Visual using Power BI Slicers

$
0
0

Hi All,

 

I have been trying out the new PowerApps Visual in Power BI but have been struggling to understand how to filter an existing App on the Power BI fields (“PowerBIIntegration”).

In this scenario I have:

  1. Created a PowerApp from a SharePoint List. Using the standard template/functionality (which requires very little work) there is a BrowseScreen1, DetailScreen1 and EditScreen1 in the App. This is shown in the first screenshot.
  2. Added the same SharePoint list as a data source in Power BI and expanded the ‘AssignedTo’ field to pull in additional columns.
  3. Created a new Report in Power BI, Imported the PowerApps visual from the marketplace.
  4. Dropped the PowerApps visual onto my report (second screenshot) and added following columns to ‘PowerApps Data’:
    1. FirstName
    2. Title
    3. Priority
    4. Status
    5. Category
  5. Within the visual I then connected to the original PowerApp I created in step 1.
  6. In that PowerApp I now have “PowerBIIntegration”

 

The functionality I would like to achieve is filtering that first BrowseScreen1 based on slicers I would like to use on the Power BI report. Ideally the slicers I would like to use are Assigned To, Priority, Status and Category.

To begin with I have tried filtering on the Assigned To field (third screenshot) however have not had much luck in this area even before trying to filter/slice on multiple fields.

 

Any help moving this forward would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Ashok

Refreshing data from Amazon Redshift (connected to S3)

Hi,

 

 

I have data sitting in Amazon S3 and I've connected this data to Power BI via Amazon Redshift (link below).

 

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/tutorial-loading-data.html

 

I've copied the data from S3 into Redshift using SQL Workbench, but if the data in S3 is updated, how do I automatically load the new data into Redshift? And then how do I automatically load the new data from Redshift in Power BI?

 

I hope this makes sense..

On-premise data gateway (personal mode) - missing data after refresh

$
0
0

I have some PowerBI reports which depend on the data stored in Excel sheets which are stored on-premise.

To avoid every day manually updating the report in the Desktop App and publishing it to the Teams Workspace, I installed the On-Premise data gateway (personal mode) and set a refresh shedule. The gateway status is displayed as online and the sheduled task is running as planned. In the "Resfresh history" there are no errors or warnings, every scheduled or on demand refresh is shown as "completed".

But all data colums except one which are used in a slicer part in the report seem to contain no data after the refresh, as the slicers all show only "Blank" as the only value. In the log files of the gateway I can not find anything helpful.

When I compare the values that the report shows in the diagrams, like item counts, these are completely updated during the refresh, but the values used in slicers show only "Blank" as the only value.

 

When updating the report in the Desktop App and publishing it, all works fine.

Has anyone experienced such strange things?

 

The gateway version is 14.16.6584.1 and the PowerBI License is Pro.

 

Regards, Gerhard

Hi all! 

 

I have an issue with Amazon Redshift Connection. I`ve created connection and got data through Amazon Redshift connector on PBI Desktop and was able to refresh data manualy but after publishing my report to PBI Web I can not get autorefresh I`m getting cridential error like this: 

Failed to update data source credentials: ODBC: ERROR [08S01] [Microsoft][Amazon Redshift] (10) Error occurred while trying to connect: [SQLState 08S01] could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "redshift.greenhouse.io" (XX.XXX.XXX.XX) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5439? could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "redshift.greenhouse.io" (XX.XXX.XXX.XX) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5439?

 

That kind of problem is it? Is it Microsoft side or Amazon? 

 

I saw such kind of problem early in 2016 but it was mentioned that problem with autorefresh is solved..

 

Thanks a lot.

 

 

Certificate Chain Not Trusted Error Effecting PowerBI Only

Hi,

 

In a SQL query that I have run several times before I am not receiving the following error: 

 

Message=A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.)

 

However, I am still able to access the databases that I receive this error for on PowerBI via SQL Server Management Studio. 

 

Does anyone have any insight onto why I would suddenly be running into this issue after not having issues with the databases effected before and how to resolve it?

Connect one pbix file to several workspaces

$
0
0

Hello,

 

Is it possible to expose one pbix file into several workspaces?

 

My ideal situation is that I would build a dataset in Power BI desktop then upload the PBIX file somewhere. Any user in Power BI service could then Get DataFrom File (or other source) > Select that PBIX file, pull it into their workspace and use that dataset to create their own reports. Then if I update the PBIX file, it would automatically update all workspaces in which the file has been connected to.

 

I have explored using Organization Content Packs but users need to make a copy to build their custom reports so the dataset will end up out of sync. I know that putting the file on One Drive will do the automatic "Publish" but every team has a different One Drive folder so... doesn't quite work.

 

I know I can build one PBIX file and then use the Publish feature in Power BI Desktop to acheive pretty much what I want. However I want to automate as much maintenance as possible and not having to remember which workspaces use which dataset. I might have to make do but I am pretty new to Power BI so just wandering if someone has found a good solution for this use case.

 

Thank you for suggestions!

Can PowerBI stream data from a 3rd part api? For example, using the Google Geolocation API, a user clicks on a link and his/her geolocation is determined (lat/long). Can that information then be streamed into a dashboard?
