No connection button for scorecard - why?

[Anonymous]

Hi there all, 

I've previously set up a scorecard and successfully connected to power bi reports with no problems. I am now adding a new measure to the scorecard. I navigate to the value I want to use in power bi but there is no connect button being shown once I select it. ie the button shown below. (it is a fairly long list or reports, but no scroll bars or anything shown in my actual report). Any ideas why?

With a quick response from the power bi team, this bug has now been fixed 🙂

Hi @Anonymous 

Please check User Permissions: Ensure you have the necessary permissions to edit the scorecard and connect data. According to Power BI documentation, you need to have build access to a scorecard to build content with the data associated with the scorecard.

Ensure the data source and connection method you're using are supported for linking to scorecards. For detailed steps on how to connect data to your scorecard, you might find this guide helpful:

If this can't help, could you please provide more information to help further diagnose the problem:

Are you able to see the connect button for other reports or measures within the same scorecard?
Is there any specific error message displayed when attempting to connect?
Your answers to these questions will help in providing more targeted assistance. Looking forward to your response.

Thanks for that Zhengdong, but I think it's a bug. If you have a really long list or reports, you can't scroll down (no scroll bar), when you use the mouse to move down to find the data to connect too - connect is hidden. You can find it again by hiding the list of reports, but it is clunky as.
