Hi everyone, 

 

I'm encountering the same error message when trying to publish my report. "An error occured while attempting to publish...This request requires buffering data to succeed."

 

Has anyone found a solution for this issue?

Hi @ gowrishankar65 

I was able to publish a report today but the next time I tried to update it I got the same error message. 

So I was wondering if you ever found a solution for it...?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

BR, Caro

I faced the same error msg multiple times,while my .pbix report was on local storage.

My navigation was : Get data - > File - > local Storage

 

Then I saved my .pbix report on OneDrive - Business,

then my navigation was: Get data - > File - > OneDrive - Business

and the report was successfully published on PBI Service

 

Hope similar solution would work for you.

@gowrishankar65,

What is your Power BI Desktop version? Are you able to upload PBIX file using Get Data->File option in Power BI Service?
