OneDrive sync not working with "thin" report
Hi Neeko. Thank you! My problem happens specifically for a PBIX file that has a live connection to a shared dataset from another workspace. It is a "thin" PBIX file.
My workflow is creating the report in Desktop, saving to OneDrive directly from PowerBI Desktop and then in PowerBI Service selecting Upload from OneDrive for Business.
The initial upload works just fine, but when I make a change to the PBIX and reupload to OneDrive, it does not trigger an update to the report. This used to work just fine, but has been intermittently causing issues for me in recent months (around the time the direct OneDrive upload became an option in Desktop).
Can you provide any guidance for "thin" reports specifically?
Microsoft EmployeeHi darrenfishell,
Would you mind checking the following:
1. The setting on the target semantic model that is referenced by the thin report here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/refresh-desktop-file-onedrive#semantic-model-owners-versus-users-with-write-permission
2. When you update the pbix, do you download the file from PBI Service first or was the original file itself downloaded? can you reproduce it with a new thin report directly created from PBI Desktop?
