Design not importing

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!

Hi @Jaaamesk 

 

Try removing the comma from line 18 - it's not required.

 

Best regards,
