Working with the new preview of Embedded Workspaces. Unfortunately attempting to Import a pbix with data fails.
ImportState: "Failed"
With no other information or error messages. Very simple pbix's with manually entered test data import fine, but even small 2-5MB pbix's with real data fail. I've tried 3 different files, all very small with 1 simple report - all fail.
Any insight on how to debug this would be helpful. I checked the Azure audit logs, but nothing there either.
Thanks,
Mike
Solved! Go to Solution.
I am having exactly same problem no hope I have tried different pbix files and even created new workspaces but no hope yet.
How did you solve it ? Could you share details ,please?
I haven't yet. Still waiting to hear back.
Josh - any progress on this?
This is working now. The PowerBI guys fixed it.
Is this a brand new PBIX file? Can you please send me your import ID?
I wouldn't say it's brand new as I've been working on a version of it for months. This copy has a number of tables removed and only one simple report for testing.
It has however been saved using the latest version of desktop:
Version: 2.33.4337.281 64-bit (March 2016)
Import ID sent.
What data source are you using for this file?
Json doc. Looks something like this:
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("http://contoso.com/api/1.0/data/etc/?key=1234"))
Thanks. We are looking into a fix. Seems to have something to do with using a JSON datasource.
