Lost login details - xero integration

Not sure whether this is the correct place to post so forgive me if it's out of place.

 

Some months ago I created a Power BI account using one of my work email addresses (I am a sole trader) in order to use the Xero content pack. The content pack never worked for me - it wouldn't synchronise reliably and I gave up on it. I have since signed up with Quickbooks and would like to try their content pack. However I can no longer log in to Power BI with the email address and password I had created with the Xero integration - I get an incorrect password error:

Screenshot from 2017-04-27 21-48-49.png

I can't reset the password, the message I get is that the account is not enabled for password reset:

Screenshot from 2017-04-27 21-51-36.png

 

I click on the link for MS to contact an administrator in my organisation to reset the password and am duly presented with the message that an email has been sent to the administrator however I am the administrator for my domain - as I said, I am a sole trader not an enterprise and no email shows up anywhere of course. 

 

Screenshot from 2017-04-27 21-59-42.png

 

If I try and register a new account with Power BI with that email address, naturally, I get an error message that the email address has already been registered. So it seems I can't use that email address any more with Power BI. There is no contact details on any of the pages to send an email to a Power BI administrator to try and sort it out. So I'm coming here to ask if anyone knows what next steps I can take to either reset the password for that account or to have it deleted so I can re-register it.

 

TIA,

Karl

We are have an on Premise 2013 Sharepoint. we want to connect Power Bi destop to the Sharepoint sites in order to access excel files. We have tried using the root directory url, the folder directory url and we have not been able to connect. The error we get using windows credential is "Access to the resource is fobidden". The user creating the connection has full rights at the Sharepoint web application level and can browse the Sharepoint site and folders on a browser. 

Please we need help in order to resolve the issue. Is there anything that need to be configured in Sharepoint to allow Power Bi to connect successfully.  Is there permissions that need to be granted the user credentials used in making the connections. Thanks you in advance for for your advise

Still true? "The Power BI report web part requires all the viewers to have a Power BI Pro license."

Have Microsoft come to their senses yet and changed this? It's ridiculous that the viewer must have a Pro license.

Enterprise Data Gateway

Currently we do not have the Enterprise Data Gateway installed in our pc, so we have some doubts regarding its implementation:

 

  • If our report is using the Enterprise Data Gateway, could we share that report with “free license” users by using both the Import and the Direct Query option?

How to track data changed through timeline?

For example,

 

I have an file_A.xlsx containing category, value and date columns. The data is published in PBI report for the month M.

 

For the month M+1, new data comes but user corrected a "value" for one of the "category" for the last month M. In this case, If I refresh the PBI report, I will have udpated data for the months M, M+1 but I will loose the "value" for the "category" from the month M before correction.

 

What is the best approach to fulfill the need.

 

My idea so far,

 

while refreshing PBI, appending the data to table B with the timestamp of refresh in calculated column.

All,

 

I am constantly failing in my attempts in trying to get RLS work in my PBI file that is based off a tabular model. In the tabular model I have define a role and when I analyze the data in XLS I get a desired outcome. But once I load the same model in PBI, I see complete dataset.

 

Can you please let me know what step I am missing?

 

Thank you!

Hello,

 

I'm having trouble finding things in the database of Dynamics 365.

 

For exemple, I'm working with the table "OpportunitySet", someone add a combobox, I'm able to get the value "176000004", but I can't find a way to get the text value from this.

 

I search in the "PickListMappingSet", but there is too much stuff.

 

Also, all my Opportunities have a Team and people in those teams, I think they are link with "Connections", but I have no idea how to obtain them in Power BI, I need they find some opportunities who have missing people in their team.

 

Is there any way to search everywhere in the DataBase, or to find where each value is store in it.

 

Thanks

Connection Error MySQL OnPrem Gateway

Hi,

 

I am currently working on a dashboarding project and along with SharePoint lists I have been asked to pull data from on-prem MySQL database.  During dev on PBI Desktop, I was able to connect to the MySQL DB and everything seemed alright. Only yesterday I was given the credentials to publish the reports on the company's PBI subscription. I did and in settings section I configured the all the connections for refresh from PBI service.

 

But when I am trying to configure the MySQL source, it doesn't connect. I downloaded and configured the Data Gateway and created a data source for the MySQL db I am using. But some how I am unable to relate this to the dataset, which still is clinging onto the direct credentials I had passed to it while developing it in PBI Desktop.

 

Error1.png

 

This is the gateway setup that I would like to associate with the MySQL source.

Error2.png

 

Help needed to fix the MySQL connect issue, be it using the direct connection or gateway.

Excel 2016 Power Pivot Compatibility to Excel 2013

Good Day!  I know that Power Pivot for Excel 2013 is not backwards compatible to Excel 2011.  However can you mix and match Power Pivot files between Excel 2013 and 2016?  I looked online but didn't see anything specific.

 

As many of us and constrained due to corporate IT policies we may not be running on the latest version of a particular software.  In my company we started sharing reports on Excel 2013 thinking that most users would hopefulyl be going away from Excel 2011 by this point.  

 

However I recently learned that I may have the opportunity ot jump to Excel 2016 based on the other software tool that was keeping us contrained on Excel 2011.  I'm just wonder if I jump to Excel 2016 then will I be alienating my Excel 2013 users or will I still need to run with two version of Excel to keep everything in check?

I succesfully setup sql 2016 direct query in power bi desktop, it's run fine.

But when published, it still use my creditenials to connect, not from another user which is connected to published file.

How to "get" current windows user to connect to sql?

Because pbix use is based on bunch of views, which all have build-in control to connected user ID, so each user must "use" own user id from windows.

Setting up enterprise gateways for two servers issue

Good morning,

 

Let's imagine the following scenario:

 

Server 1 contains SQL Server Database A

Server 2 contains SQL Server Database B

 

I have a Power BI Dataset that imports data from both SQL Server Database A and SQL Server Database B, that live in different Servers.

 

Now I want to schedule data refresh, therefore I need to setup a Gateway. As far as I understood, in order to avoid VPN autentitaction, I need to install an on-premise gateway in the server where the database is located. In this case, I assume I need to install a gateway in Server 1 and another gateway in Server 2, so I can reach both servers without the need of the VPN authentication. But as you said, the dataset deployed in the Power BI service cannot use more than one gateway... so, what is the solution then?

I'm using PBI publisher to view data in excel, and it great.  is there a way to create an offline cache of the cube, so that I don't have to ping the cloud for each time I interact with the pivots.

 

I see that there's an option to create an "offline OLAP"  under Analyze/OLAP Tools.  When I try to create this offline data file[.cub file], I get a message saying"MS OLE provider for SQL Servier 2016 Analysis Services. This Analysis Services feature is not available with database compatibility level 1200 or higher"

 

I have no idea what this error message means.  I'm using Excel 2013, but I've tried Excel 2016 with the same result.

 

Thanks for any help.

Cannot connect to SQL database - MS SQL Error on refresh

So, not sure what the go here is, I am using the Desktop APP successfully to connect to our SQL database hosted on a different domain

 

I can connect and refresh via the desktop app no problems at all.  

 

When I publish to the PB Service, and try to schedule refresh, the gateway details are all okay, however I am currently getting the following error: 

 

"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 connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)"

 

The credentials have not changed for the SQL server, any help as to why this would occur in the Online Service and not the Desktop app? 

 

Thanks for any help

Power BI Desktop - Zendesk Refresh Error "unprocessable entity"

Hello!

 

I use Power BI desktop to monitor Zendesk stats.

 

I missed a couple days of refreshing the data (darn you manual refresh...)

 

And now when I refresh the refresh cancels out on the "Tickets" category due to an "unprocesseable_entity".

I looked up the URL it got stuck on and it seems to be happening because the Zendesk API has a 2,000 page limit.

But since Power BI Desktop doesn't seem to have an error handling for that, I can't refresh the data.

 

Is there a way to get the data in parts? Or export the data from Power BI Web?

I have scheduled refreshes on the Web version of Power BI so that data stays up to date.

I need the desktop to refresh because of the different reports I need to make.

 

Any help would be appreciated, I'm pulling my hair out by now :/

We have installed a data gateway on premises - windows 2016 -  but when it comes to scheduling an update on a report, it does not show the gateway even though the user has been added to that connection on the gateway. and when you go to manage gateways you can see the gateway.        

 

When you do a refresh now / scheduled refresh it says edit credentials and then when you go into edit it just hangs.

 

any ideas here. help.  The sources are excel files in a folder on the network on prem.    

 

There a few things going on here

1. the ad acccounts are not mapped to the office 365 accounts

2. The credentials in the gateway are a 365 account

3. the credentials in the data source are an ad accounDatasets Screenshot.pngManage Gateway - 1.pngManage Gateway - 2.pngManage Gateway - 3.png
