Enterprise Gateway - Changing data source from mapped drive to UNC causes error on Power BI Service
Hello,
I've created a few reports with data sources that were initially connected via a mapped drive connection on my local machine (ie. "H:\variousfolders\report\data\"). These were published ...
Hello Lydia,
That seems rather counterproductive, as a few of the reports have quite a few files feeding into them.
Further, this still seems like a bug as I can set a folder connector from my gateway to the UNC path (let's say ("\\servername\shared folders\reports\data files\"), and in a new pbix file create file connectors to data in that folder (such as "\\servername\shared folders\reports\data files\data1.csv") and that will work fine when uploaded to the service.
It only seems to be an issue with old reports that were using a drive mapping path then switched to a UNC path.
Thanks!
