Hello everyone, I have written this post that shows how to create a Flow that triggers a dataset refresh whenever the Power BI app is opened, via the iOS Shortcuts app.
Imagine that you want to make sure that all of your datasets are refreshed whenever you open your Power BI app in your iOS device.
Be aware of the dataset refresh restrictions.
Hi,
We have the following project with power bi, to quickly explain:
-We, software developpers, create report templates with power bi desktop, and we publish them to be available to our customers
-Our customers send their data with the Power Bi Rest API, but their data is only available for their own users linked to each customer. Each customer has the same structure for the data.
-The customer must only see the data concerning him but can work or chose among the models we create.
What's the best way to do it?
Is it necessary to create one workspace per customer and publish each model in each workspace?
Or is it possible to create one workspace and allow each customer to work only with his own data?
Thanks for your help
Hello,
for a project we are using the API REST to upload a PBIX into a workspace of another tenant.
Depending the hour of the day, the treatment is succesfull, takes ages, or doesn't work.
Anyone encountered this matter ? what did you do ?
I have two tables in my powerbi desktop application.
Table 1:
200K rows with duplicate address values since customers at the same address have multiple accounts.
Table 2:
Copy of Table 1. All columns except address have been removed. Duplicates of address were then removed. 30K rows of unique addresses remain.
I have sucessfully connected to Bing Maps API and imported the Long/Lat for each unique address in Table 2. Now that i have the long/lat for all 30K rows in Table 2, I want to merge Table 2 with Table 1 on the address field to bring in the Long/Lat for each row in Table 1.
Issue is, when appling this merge, the query applier starts merging the tables BUT also is looking up each row with Bing Maps for a second time!!!
Anyone know how to add a step (in my case merge tables) with Bing Maps data in a table with out it querying the data with Bing Maps every time a new step is added?
Thanks !
Hi,
I have uploaded a pbix file that uses Mixed Storage Mode (Direct Query and Data Import) to the PowerBI Service. The file has only one Azure SQL data source, say Dev-DataSource.
After the upload I need to update the connection string/credentials so that I can setup scheduled refresh from another source, QA-DataSource. I am able to add the new data source using parameters, but when I try to delete the old one (DevDataSource) it does not work. I have tried deleting the old data source in the following ways:
Is there a way to delete the old data source and replace it with a new one in PowerBI service? I am trying to avoid doing this in PBI Desktop as I need to automate this step, and need to provision the pbix for multiple clients.
Does Power BI have rest api's to control share report feature in app.power bi.
Scenario:
I have an power bi embed application (built using power bi rest api's) which lets users create workspace,upload and create reports in power bi.
we want to control the share feature (i.e. lets only few users to share or disable share for some reports) in app.power bi for the reports that are getting uploaded from our embed application.
is there a way or rest api's around that?
I'm using the Power BI onboarding Embed tool (https://app.powerbi.com/embedsetup/appownsdata) and the sample code. When I try to access the Power BI report I get the message below (Unauthorized 401). The user credentials used in the code is an Admin of the Workspace. I have removed mutli-factor authentifcation from the user. Any ideas how to resolve this? Thank you.
Status: Unauthorized (401) Response: RequestId: 7ba996d8-5b40-4103-9676-c150d5e8e959
Hi All,
and @v_lid_msft
I'm trying to scrap data from flat renting/selling website
Bellow is the total list of all features and HTML "data-name" that flat can have in that web site
Features data-name
"Балкон остеклен" flat.balcony_g
"Дверь" flat.door
"Телефон" flat.phone
"Интернет" inet.type
"Парковка" flat.parking
"Мебель" live.furniture
"Пол" flat.flooring
"Потолки" ceiling
"Безопасность" flat.security
"В прив. Общежитии" flat.priv_dorm
"Разное" flat_options
But ad can contain less features, example is below.
https://krisha.kz/a/show/54195634
= Html.Table(Source, {{"Tel", "DL:nth-child(1) > DD"}, {"Парковка", "DL:nth-child(2) > DD"}, {"Без", "DL:nth-child(3) > DD"}}, [RowSelector="DL:nth-child(1) > DD"])
But the thing is, if in the next ad another owner added "flat.balcony_g" or "flat.door" feature/s then everything will be filled one by one, it is not right. Example how it is and how it should be below:
I tried to excess to the right data and stick data by doing following:
= Html.Table(Source, {{"Tel", ".offer__parameters >dl> [data-name=""flat.phone""]"}}, [RowSelector=".offer__advert-title"])
But I can get only "Телефон", and cant find solution to access to "отдельный"
Please help with this
I am learning to develop a Microsoft Power BI Custom Visual under the instruction of Hands on Lab: https://www.microsoft.com/handsonlabs/selfpacedlabs/details/SQ00158 . However, I got stuck since I can't find the file pbiviz.json in the Visual Studio Code window. Anyone knows where to find it? Thanks!
Hey everyone,
I have trouble loading the Power BI report in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 in a reasonable time. The database is on a Azure Server.
I created a simple report with few data and only one visual but the problem persists. Also I tryed to see if the database is the problem and used a Cronus, but the same problem occurs.
Thanks for any help,
Joshua
Hi!
I have a table data displaying YoY difference between two years, i.e. This year and last year which is defined in the formulas. There are two line charts below this table , one displaying the Last year's Transaction for the companies and the second one for tihs years companies.
What I am trying to achive: To be able to not restrict the report to just "This Year" and "Last Year", the report should be able to provide selections via a slicer to enable selecting any year I want to see on these two charts and based on the selction of the Year on charts the table above these charts displaying YoY values dynamically chnage. Currently it is restricted to "This Year" i.e. 2019 and "Last Year" i.e. 2018 and I am not able to select or chnage years. Even if I put individual slicers for each line chart which works fine on the charts , but the YoY values on the tavble above does not reflect that YoY values.
Help will be greatly appreciated.
I want to be able to select any year on those two individual charts and the table above should refrelct the YoY based on the Years selected on the teo line chart's below.
Please find attached the .pbix file.
Kind Regards
We are using the powerbi-client npm package to embed PowerBI report in our site. Everything works fine except for one report where it first loads with "Content isn't available" error but upon subsequent page reloads (a few times), it will eventually load the content, and then intermittently fails again. Loading the same report from the powerbi.com site has no such problem.
When inspecting the Network trace from F12, we find the following often failing with HTTP 401:
But usually followed by some successfully requests (HTTP 200) for the same call/url.
From the failing calls, the response header contains these info, especially the GroupNotAccessible error:
Any way to fix this intermittent issue?
Hi,
we are building a web application that will be used by different tenants, our customers, and will allow them to gain some insights about their business processes. You can consider this web application to be a "visualization tool" to display meaningful charts and diagrams starting from raw data collected by our flagship product.
I am responsible for maintaining and improving the platform, whose initial development was outsourced to another company.
First of all, the application leverages Power BI to embed dashboards in the web page; each tenant will have its own workspace (group) containing a set of dashboards. It is worth noting that we are in charge of maintaining the different workspaces and the tenants have no Power BI license, they will access their data only through our platform. The application code currently implements the "user owns data" scenario, and obtains token to access Power BI by authenticating with our Power BI Pro account data; the dashboards are then embedded in the browser by including the access token as "AAD" type (not "Embed") in JS.
I thought about changing the authentication process by switching to the "app owns data" scenario, since we have just one license and we do not use tenant identity to authenticate to Power BI, not to mention that the password of the user associated to the license expires periodically and this can lead to unnoticed service disruption. So far so good, I set up a service principal and changed the token type to Embed in the JS part, everything works just fine.
Yesterday I stumbled upon the infamous embed token limit, which means that right now we have reached a usage of 10% of free embed tokens. The docs recommend to switch to dedicated capacity, so our choices seem to be either Embedded or Premium.
Consider that right now our cost related to Power BI is $10 each month for the Pro license, and that using the Embedded SKU with the basic tier A1 will increase that cost by ~70x. We would like to avoid incurring in such high charges, since we cannot easily justify hundreds of dollars each month to our future few customers, just for a data visualization platform.
Given that the current authentication and embedding scenario seems to work, with the caveat that the web application is still not available to any of our customers and we are only performing internal tests on it, is it feasible to continue using the password approach with the AAD access token for embedding or is there any drawback that might come up in the future when the system will be running in production for our tenants?
For example, there can be some limitation or throttling to the Azure Active Directory/Power BI API or embed URL when using the Pro license, whereas Embedded or Premium have no limitation? How can we expect the application to behave when multiple accesses/requests will be issued from different browsers that refer to the same licensee? I cannot find such information on the docs.
I understand the security concern of disclosing the AAD token, since it will be available by inspecting browser network calls, but we can rest on the fact that this is meant to be a controlled platform and a limited number of users/tenants will be granted access.
Thanks in advance for any clarification on this topic.
