Hello,
I have an issue when trying to import a Design .json file on Power BI Desktop. The error message is not very explanatory unfortunately, it just says "an error occured while importing, please try again."
I am tyring to import it on a windows server through an rdp connection, and the server has quite restrictive policies when it comes to sending and installing scripts of any kind, as it is a clients internal server. Might this be an issue or is that irrelevant to installing designs with Power BI?
In case it is an issue with the design file itsself, I added a screenshot below.
I couldn't find anything on Power BI designs on the web, as they don't seem to be a big topic at the moment.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Solved! Go to Solution.
There is an error showed at Line 18. SO try to remove the comma from Line 18 and upload the JSON file again.
