It wont let me attached the excel source file?

Upload the PBI file and source Excel files to Google Drive and share the download link.

Hi,

That takes me to a sign-in page.  Also share the download link of the PBi file where the problem is occuring.

That requires a login to access it.

 

Can't you save the file to OneDrive, Dropbox or Google Drive and link to it?

Hi @jordan-ingles 

 

It's difficult to help you without seeing the actual file and data.  But lookgin at your image, it is filtering for errors only in the SALESID column, and I guess there aren't any.

 

What error message are you getting when you import the data?

 

What does the table show/look like before you filter for errors?

 

Please provide your PBIX fiel and the data you are trying to import.

 

Regards

 

Phil

Hey Phil,

 

Thanks for your help! Really appreciate it. There is an error in every column of my data. I dont have any issues importing the data but when I refresh the data from excel it tells me that x number of rows were added and x number of errors were found and the report wont then refresh with the new data. 

I dont get a specific error. 

The table looks totally fine! It just wont refresh the report.

 

Hope that all makes sense? 

Hi @jordan-ingles 

 

Very difficult to help you without seeing your data and the PBIX file/query you are using.

Hi Phil,

 

Sorry this is my first time building a report. It wont let me attach an excel document? How do I access my PBIX file?

Hi,

Share the download link of the PBI file along with the source Excel files.
