Show refresh errors in meaningful way in power BI or in email

[mahenkj2]

Hi,

I have developed a Power BI solution for my users, they use it well, but sometimes due to some error in data, report refresh fails. Most of time they need to use manual refresh.

I know they can see the error in service or email those errors.

But such error are not formated so well and less meaningful for my user. They could resolve most of time if they understand what error is telling us. Is there any way to capture those errors and relate with some predefined dimension table and show user the most likely cause in a better way?

Thanks for all the inputs.

@mahenkj2 , check if Power bi Rest API for Dataset can help

Hi @amitchandak ,

I am checking on that. Where this will be used, in the same report which failed or another report?
Can we also send an email if a manual refresh fails?
