I am recieving the attached error message "unable to connect" when attempting to get data from my data source in the Power BI Desktop app. We have already made sure the service account for the Gateway has direct access to the database and SQL server, as I am able to login directly with no issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated as we are trying to get our trial setup for presentation to management. 2017-06-12 14_12_52-.jpg

 

 

 

 

Schedule Refresh with Multiple Azure Blobs

$

0

I am attempting to set up a scheduled refresh for reports containing data from two seperate Azure Blob instances (One for development data and another with live production data). When trying to set up a scheduled refresh, I verify the credentials for each source and attempt to refresh. However, it seems that PowerBI is only using the key that I enter most recently for these sources instead of keeping the unique keys for each. Therefore, I am receiving an error when refreshing for the source that adopted the wrong key.

 

I am able to refresh these sources seperately from PBI Desktop and republish, but unable to do a scheduled refresh.  Does anyone have experience setting up scheduled refresh for multiple Blob sources? And does anyone have a clue why it won't accept unique keys for the unique Blob instances?

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

I'm using the government version of PowerBI and  trying to connect to our instance of Visual Studio Online, Team Services.  It works fine from the web version of PowerBI, but from the desktop - using the same connector - I get this.  Any ideas why??  I'm logged in with the same account in both places and the VSTS instance is configured to permit external connections.

I have an Sharepoint 2013 list that I am trying to connect to using Power BI Desktop. I'm trying to connect to the source using Sharepoint List tool and introducing the URL address of my site at Sharepoint Server, and I can successfully connect and log in.

 

The problem comes here: A new window pops up where I guess I should have to select the list I want to import, but that window is empty. I'm sure that I'm doing something wrong, but I've failed when followig tutorials and searching for solutions at other threads.

 

Thanks for your help.

Gateway installation: List of URLs/ports NOT complete

$
0
0

I guess this purpose of this post is to make others aware that the gateway is NOT "enterprise ready", and list the issues we've been having to set it up - hopefully that will save someone time we spent on this:

 

We're aiming to install the gateway on a Azure VM in a big enterprise (Azure). Due to cyber risks, it was agreed that the VM will not have access to internet, and only the URL's & ports specified as per Microsoft Documentation was allowed through the Firewall and NSG's and traffic flows through ExpressRoute: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-gateway-onprem/

Install package version 14.16.6317.4 downloaded from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53127

 

1) Gateway software installation succeeds. The next step is to "use an account to identify the gateway". Documentation for what priveleges this account should have is non-existant. As our setup is an enterprise we didn't want to use an individual's account

2) The documentation does NOT make provisioning for ADFS authentication. On sign-in, the O365 tenant will block the request as its coming from an untrusted source via Express Route. All traffic is routed via express route so proxy settings won't make a difference

3) Following suggestions on other forums, we then created a user directly in O365 and use it to log on - mixed responses between "Network Requests" errors and blocked sign on. At a point we were able to proceed to configure the gateway, however the gateway application crashed. On PowerBI the gateway was registered as per picture 3, but we're unable to get it started on the VM again. Reinstall is met with blocked sign-on again.

 

We'll now proceed poking more holes in our NSG's and firewalls to finalise the configuration section of the gateway. It would have been helpful if the documentation made these clear distinctions which is required during configuration. We're still unclear of what will be required in the longer term to maintain the software.

Hi,

 

I have a several users that have spreadsheets with grouped columns, and they might have the same name for a sub column in each of the grouped columns.

 

What is the best way to get this imported so it makes sense in PowerBI?

 

Here is a screenshot as an example:

Many thanks. 

 

 

 


ServiceNow Integration Content Pack - Live Data

I have connected the ServiceNow content pack and reports/dashboard are generated fine, but I noticed that history textbox where you put number of days has no impact on the report.  I have refreshed the data but it is still showning me data for 1 June 2017?

 

Is there any way to get the live data from ServiceNow through this content pack? e.g. if I put 30 days I should take data for 30 days including today?  Am I missing something here?

 

Thanks,

Gateway and domains setup

$

I am working on Azure AS Tabular Model which is in domain X. My datasource is on-prem in domain X.  I am working from domain Y and the gateway is setup in domain y. 

 

I couldn't find much documentation around cross-domain setup for the gateway. So here are my questions:

1. Is this right\reccomended setup? If not what is the reccommended setup?

2. Are there any documentations around this?

 

With my setup, when i deploy my tabular model to the Azure AS  i encounter the below errors:

 

I get this error when I can deploy my metadata but processing fails:

[DM.GatewayCore] ServiceEndpoint Connection status: Connecting, LastError: 'System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: The connection was inactive for more than the allowed 240000 milliseconds and is closed by container '2cfbf48f3a584793b672affba704b4dd_G53'. ---> Microsoft.ServiceBus.Messaging.Amqp.AmqpException: The connection was inactive for more than the allowed 240000 milliseconds and is closed by container '2cfbf48f3a584793b672affba704b4dd_G53'.
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---'

 

I get this error when i can deploy, processing starts and retrieves about 2.1 million rows, and then stays like that for some time and fails:

[DM.Pipeline.Diagnostics] Exception object created [IsBenign=True]: Microsoft.PowerBI.DataMovement.Pipeline.Diagnostics.CancellationException: Task is timeouted with System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCanceledException: A task was canceled.

Help with data connectivity

$

Wondering if you guys can help answer a Power BI question I have.

 

Long story short, I built a Power BI report that uses a data connectivity mode of ‘Import’ from a SQL Server database. The users have all been granted access to a group allowing them to view the necessary source tables. When I publish the report, they can see it and export as necessary, however, they cannot refresh the data through the ‘web’ toolbar.

 

Do I need a gateway for this, or am I missing something? Thanks!

SQL Connection Named Pipes Provider, error:40

Morning,

 

In the past few days I've been having this issue more and more wherein I'm sometimes able to connect to my sql server when I refresh or apply my queries. In the past I was able to work around this by just running the query again; but I'm trying to run some queries over slightly larger datasets (200k rows) and it seems to fail before it completes.

 

I'm not sure how to enable remote connection on my Azure Sql Database in SSMS or through the azure portal so this might be helpful if anyone knows how.

 

I've allowed the port 1433, I've placed an exception for powerbi through Windows firewall. I've tried to run a telnet but my cmd didn't recognise the command.

Power BI Service Refresh of Azure Data Lake Store not working

$

In Power BI Desktop I am able to successfully connect to an Azure Data Lake Store and create a DataSet and Report.  Once I publish the PBIX file to the Power BI Service, I want to schedule a periodic refresh of the data.  When attempting to schedule the refresh, I am asked to reenter the credentials to connect to the Azure Data Lake Store.

 

When I do, I always get the following error.  I have double (and triple) checked the credentials, and the same credentials work within Power BI Desktop.  Is it possible to do a scheduled refresh of a DataSet within the Power BI Service if the data source is Azure Data Lake Store?

 

Failed to update data source credentials: The credentials provided for the DataLake source are invalid. (Source at https://xxxxxxx.azuredatalakestore.net/.)Hide details
