Getting error when creating KPI

Hi All,

 

I was creating a test KPI on my report server but I am getting an error. 

 

Can someone help me realising what I might be doing wrong? Or is there somewhere I can see the error logs for the Power BI Report Server?

 

Thanks

    Hi pragyamishra,

     

    PBIRS uses the same infrastructure as reporting services. You can see more info on that here. Default path of trace log files:  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Report Server\PBIRS\LogFiles

     

    Besides, please restart the Power BI Report Server service for a test.

      Thanks but I still cannot create a KPI except a default one.(Tried restarting the report server as well).

       

      When I try to change anything from the defaults provided while creating a KPI, i can't create a KPI. :(

    Hello Pragyamishra,

    sorry for the late answer, but I had the same issue than you (when change to use dataset instead of pre-filled value), I got an error.

    After a large numbers of hours spent to try all solutions provide on internet, I finally found the one :)

     

    error is in fact not on KPI, but when loading datasets.

    so, to avoid this, you have to update rsreporterserver.config on server.

     

    Found that section :

     

        <UI>
            <ReportServerUrl></ReportServerUrl>
            <PageCountMode>Estimate</PageCountMode>
        </UI>

     

    and update it like this :

    <UI>
            <ReportServerUrl>http://YourServerName/ReportServer</ReportServerUrl>
            <PageCountMode>Estimate</PageCountMode>
        </UI>

     

    that's all, this solution works for me, and now, I can create KPIs.

    Hope it will help you.

    Regards,
