A while ago, I was able to access the datasets from Power BI desktop just fine but now, I can't connect to them. I am the admin of the workspaces and owner of the datasets. The only dataset I can connect to is Retail Analysi Sample which I installed months ago. Those I uploaded are not available. These datasets are still accessible from the web but not from Desktop.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @danextian,
1. Please check if the signed in Power BI account in Power BI desktop does have build permission to access the required dataset.
2. Please check if you hit any limitation listed here.

Can you close this one please? I realized that I logged in with a similarly named but different account.
