    Hi Noak, if it is always getting to the same amount of rows then it could possibly be a timeout on the SQL Server side? Or somewhere inbetween.


    I am sure that the SQL Engineer will be able to check the code and possibly add indexes to make the query return faster?

    Hi  Noak,

     

    Can you share some detail information to help us clearly know your issue?


    For example:


    1. Database type(SQL Server, SSAS, or other type of sql?)

    2. Connect mode(Import, directQuery, liveconnection?)

    3. Refresh type(manually or scheduled refresh?)

     

    In addition, can you share some screenshots of your dataset? It will be help to know the connection state of gateway.(you can find it at Settings -> Dataset)

     

     

    Regards,

    Xiaoxin Sheng

        Hi Noak, it appears that you are getting timeouts, which would be consistent as to why it sometimes works and then other times it does not work.

         

        You would need to ensure that connectivity is fast enough from the Power BI Service, to where you have installed the Data Gateway?

         

        As well as how much data you are returning, and how efficient your SQL Query is to import the data. Those could all affect why it is timing out.

         

        One way to test is when there are few people in the office, and see if you manually refresh if that is successful? If it is, then it can indicate that during the data there is not enough bandwidth to refresh?
