Hi,
How would I know if there is an issue with the Power BI service, whenever I change to a different Data Set I get the message
Working on it
and it then hangs for ages, there is then no Cancel button so after 10 minutes or so I have to end the Power BI Desktop via Task Manager.
Is there anywhere I can check to see what it is doing and why it is hanging?
I also get this message sometimes when if I do connect to the Data Set and then I refresh, the below message appears
It is becoming unworkable now Power BI, frustrated with it!
Thanks
Hi, @AvPowerBI
According to your screenshot picture, I guess that the root cause of this problem is that you don’t have access to this dataset.
I suggest you sign in power bi service using your current account, and try to find the dataset you were connecting to, and create a report using this dataset.
If it failed, you can contact the dataset owner to check if he has selected the option below:
Please note :
Only users with Build permission for a dataset can connect to a published dataset using the Power BI service live connection.
For more limitations of connecting to dataset in powerbi desktop, you can follow this link and draw to the bottom:

If it still can’t solve your problem, you can follow these links to view solutions to similar problems:
