Daily reoccurring data source issues
Hello,
This is now the second day in a row that this has happened. Basically every day when I come in the morning and startup Power Bi it can't find the datasets I was just connected to. Yesterday I rebooted my computer and it started working again. Today no such luck. I performed all the usual procedures (logging in and out, restarting, checking privledges etc.) and everything seems to be working/the same as it has been for over a month.
What's weird is that if I open a certain report, the data still flows in correctly and I am able to see all my normal fields. Any other report doesn't open due to the data source error.
BTW I am using a "Power Platform Power Bi Dataset" as a live connection.
This is a new issue as I have not had problems like this since this week.

Hi, Anonymous
I wonder what the error message is and which Power BI Desktop version you are using.
Best Regards

Anonymous IT happened to me also and here is why it happened to me.
I have two different login acount I use, I logged in power bi desktop say [email protected] and it connected to the power bi dataset on this company's tenant. all fine.
now i opened another report, and logged in as a different user for different tenant, let's [email protected]. so far so good, i save the report and all good
now if I go back to report 1 , it will complain that power bi dataset no found and there is dialog box which allows you to change the credentials, so i will go to [email protected] and will see my dataset and would be good to go. hope this helps.
Would appreciate Kudos 🙂 if my solution helped.
Hello v-alq-msft parry2k ,
I only have one account and there is no error message. Basically whenever I try to get data from the powerbi dataset it either tries to load indefinitely, or says that the dataset I've been using for the past couple months is not there. I'm still thinking this has something to do with my "trial account" status as Microsoft support over the phone confirmed that I wasn't an admin on their side (which I had been up until that day, and none of my coworkers or managers have changed any of the security/role settings.)
