Python Visual - Dataframe Doesn't Load

[Anonymous]

Hi Power BI community,

I need your help. I am trying to create a Python visual in Power BI Desktop; the code works fine, but the visual doesn't load the data from the data model into the dataframe. Therefore the graphs remain empty.

It's really frustrating...

You'll find an example - screenshot - down below.

(Excuse the child's painting)

Some background information:

• The data is coming from a Power BI-Dataset created and managed by my employer, which I have limited access to.
  (I'm not able to use the Power Query Editor on that dataset, nor can I combine it with additional data sources)
• I've created a new virtual enviroment and installed the compatible versions of python and the packages.
  (With pip and conda - tried both)
  
• I'm working with Anaconda and Jupyter notebooks

Could it be that there a limitations when using a pre build Power BI-Dataset?

- Maybe it's my limited access

I would be extremely thankful if someone has a clue or solution for this problem!

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Felix

You may have filters on your Values A and B that result in an empty dataframe?  Hard to tell without more context.

@lbendlin Thanks for your Input. 

I think I know the reason; it seems that it has something to do with the Power BI dataset from my employer. Maybe some sort of restricions. (I have limited access to the dataset. I can use it, but can't make any changes. Can't even use the power query editor)

I tried it with data from an Excel sheet and the Python visual worked perfectly fine.

Possible Solutions:

A - I need to find a workaround, to exctract the data from the system and import it into Power BI

B - I need to get some special authorization / access to the dataset (Which is highly unlikely)

Any other ideas are welcome 🙏

Best,

Felix

@Anonymous   You are supposed to use the prefilled "dataset"  dataframe, not fill your own.

@lbendlin I know. That's the point of my question, the "prefilled dataset dataframe" is not loading by itself. Any idea what's the reason?

Best,

Felix
