PBIP datasets are empty in workspace

Hi everyone,

 

I have been trying to create a POC to see whether PBIP files fit in our workflow. However, I have been struggling on this particular problem. The .pbip report in the workspace is empty, whereas the same .pbip file works fine on the desktop. I have tried two data sources, one of those was a .json file (which was in the correct format) and a sql server which contains one table.

 

At first I imported the .json data into the powerbi report which worked fine, I can view the data and create visualizations on the Desktop. However, after publishing it as a .pbip file to the workspace, none of the data show up. The reports are all empty somehow. I have tried this for several reports, and I also tried converting a working, in-use report from .pbix to .pbip and the visualizations seem to look good, however it has no values (everything is 0), whereas the same report in prod (which is a .pbix) works completely fine. I had also tried downloading it to a pdf file, which was also empty in terms of values.

 

I have been at this issue for a couple days now and I can't figure out what is going wrong.

 

I have attached a couple images to make it more clear. Hopefully someone can help me out since the. git integration is amazing!

 

First image is the desktop, second is the workspace.

Hi @melvin-finaps ,

Please Check Dataset Settings: After publishing the PBIP file to the workspace, head into the dataset settings and set relevant credentials for the data source(and map data source), then refresh the dataset. This is similar to any other PBIX deployment.

hello I'm dealing with a situation regarding PBIP file .  I've generated my PBIP file based on my pbix report then synchronize my repository as Git repo commit and push everything to Azure devOps. Everything got pushed, proper dataset and report folder got generated, GITignore file too except the PBIP file generated locally from the pbix.

 

IT looks like PBIP file is not systematically pushed. any thought or similar experience?
