When connecting to a Redshift database in AWS via an ODBC connection in PowerBI, the report will execute the queries already loaded into the report upon opening of the document (in the desktop version), or randomly (in the online version). If I load a new query into the report, often up to 5 copies of the single query will start to execute, in addition to unrelated queries from the report beginning to execute at the same time as well. This completely eats up the disk space and I/O operations, effectively tying up the database so nothing can actually execute. Is there a way to disable automatic execution of queries in both the Desktop and Online version of PowerBI? With the exception of a scheduled refresh and a manual query load, the report should not continually attempt to execute queries without request. Thank you! ... View more

There is a problem I have found when exporting currency formatted columns from PBI to .csv Once you open this .csv in excel, the dollar sign gets put adjacent to the number value, as a result, excel doesnt recognize that A. this is a number and B. that it is currency - so even if you try to reformat the column in excel, its impossible... the only workaround I have found is to forgo formating like currency in PBI ...

I have been exploring Power BI Embedded for use in our mobile and web CRM SaaS apps. The Power BI authoring and embedding is awesome + the APIs. We have one SQL database that serves all subscribers. Our users are Sales Reps and Sales Managers (for a particular Subscriber) Each Sales Rep should only see dashboards with their data (based on UserId or SalesRepCode) Each Sales Manager should see data for their connected Sales Reps. We have a table that links Sales Reps to Managers. On all queries we pass SubscriberId and UserId, so we can render just the data that a particular user should see. How can we achieve this for individual user Dashboards in Power BI Embedded? The SSIS or SQL row-level security does not make sense from our use case. Any individual Subscriber could have a few users or hundreds. We don't want to create and maintain SQL Server or AD users in addition to our own security structure. We do a similar thing with Zumero for mobile SQL database sync - whereby we have filters that make sure each user just syncs their own data between the Cloud SQL database and their SQLite database on the phone or tablet. This is more read-only and click on slices for doing analysis - not a biz analyst writing their own reports & distributing them in their organization. We want to make standard sales performance dashboards based on user roles. Sales Rep, Station Manager, Regional or Country Manager, CRM admin. I know Power BI Embedded is new - but I would imagine this would be a common use case. Is this possible now? Seems we could create a workspace for each user and push in the appropriate dataset programaticaly - but that seems like a hack vs being able to add a SQL criteria clause that appropriately filters the dataset on the way in, and then the user just has that as the source. Only a few tables needed for the reporting dashboards - Leads, Opportunities, Activities, etc... ... View more

I just noticed that my table chart looks different in Power BI Service and Power BI Desktop. In the desktop version blank fields are truly blank: http://oxcrx34285.i.lithium.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/6092iF77496A8400CA57B/ In the service the same fields are marked as (Blank): http://oxcrx34285.i.lithium.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/6093i5214FDA7CA84F622/ It is the same pbix file, but rendered differently.

I am no longer seeing the pop up asking me to enable my custom visuals in the PBI service. A report with a Line dot chart that just last week was working on the service, iPhone, and iPad is now not working on any of them, only on desktop. This was yet another part of a presentation I am giving tomorrow morning that has just changed out of the blue just this week. With the loss of custom visuals and the drill down arrows on visual, my presentation and demo just took a big step backward. Hopefully these can be resolved soon. ... View more
