Publishing to Service in November Update
I am facing the sam issues . The anlysis service Data set on the Power Bi service keeps showing this warning which says "An Unknown error has occured". As far as publishing to the service form the Desktop is concerned , we are seening this issue in some of our reports not all . We are not using any cutom visual . However if we delete the data set and the report and re publish it it seems to be working we have toms of report designed on analysis service and would not be feasible to re publish all of those and re pin the tiles on the dashbord .. please help out,
Strangely you are not the only one who had encountered the problem. I had the same issue - the reports within the PBI Desktop worked fine on my server, but I was not able to publish them to the web service. Directly connecting to the existing source in the web-service worked fine, though.
I could narrow the issue down to the backend source. For PBI "in file" models it worked fine, same for SQL backend models. I also tried re-creating the very simple report, so it was not about the "complex" report itself.
Solution: I re-installed the Power BI SSAS Connector and applied the most recent version. Before that I had a 2 months old version. I assume that they have changed something in the web-service which "broke the link" with the 2 month old SSAS connector.
I did uninstall and install the latest version of the connector and the Publishing to the service seems to work fine now . Thank you !
