Since the July update , cannot export data to excel from PBI desktop. The app flags an error, and have sent frown. On closing the error dialog, the app displays "working on it" until the app is stopped from task manager. Tested same export on another PC with still the June version and it works fine !! Please advise if it is a bug that is known / resolution underway and timing. Should we roll back to the June version ?

After my dataset gets refreshed, all the reports updates, and the dashboard tiles write the last update time well. The problem is that the data inside the dashboard tiles does not ! (So the last update time does not match the data in the tiles !) I opened pages in chrome that wasnt refreshed with F5, and stayed open on the dashboard page for many hours (while i view and watch other chrome pages). It still writes the real last update time, but the data does not update until i press F5. Thank you for your help Dolev

Power Bi Desktop has been working fine until the August update. Whenever I try to "get data" and select Database then "SQL Server Database" it closes the box as it should but never loads anything. It wont let you click anywhere else. Event logs show this error every time this happens: The description for Event ID 25 from source MSOLAP$AnalysisServicesWorkspace340320730 cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer. If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event. The following information was included with the event: msmdsrvi.rll 3081

After publishing to report I can only see the title of the visual but not the visual itself. It was visible earlier but not recently. The help info on the visual indicates there are too many values to be able to display and asks me to filter the data. Its possible my dataset has grown but since the visual appears in the PowerBI desktop I'm not sure why it can't display in the browser.

Hi, I have just installed Power BI Desktop July update on Windows Server 2012 R2 and when I click on any source provided on 'Get Data' the PBI crashes. However, I did the same thing on my laptop which runs windows 10 and everything works fine. Any Idea to fix the problem? Regards, Mohsen

How to handle data redundancy in an Enterprise BI Self Service model, i.e., single version of truth. For example one user may have their own version of data on direct margin and other user may have the same.

Currently power BI have single cloud gateway architecture. To manage the risk if that gateway goes down, is there any cluster model required? Is there any solution to this issue? OR is this the only model available in the market? can A single gateway be installed in multiple nodes, so that even if one node fails, other nodes may provide data to the cloud?

Ipad App buggy, sometimes drill down button will not highlight, sometimes if you drill down too quickly the app locks up. Controls are too small, e.g. when maximising report, trying to drill up and down, rather than go back to report, to cancel is so hit and miss - you would think this was never tested. currently using version 8.3 - and very frustrated with the bugs - not ready for an executive to use - would just get frustrated.

Hello, I am very excited about the new Redshift connector. However, we use Redshift to store big data that needs to have a query applied to it before bringing it in for analysis and visualization. It appears that the Redshift connection only allows you to bring in the entire table, and then apply a "Power Query" to it. Is there a way to apply a query to the original Redshift table before importing it to PowerBI? Thank you! -Alex

The "Smart Filter by SQLBI" custom visual has stopped working since the latest Power BI update 29th July. Desktop and online. I tried downloading and deploying the latest version of the visual but no joy. You type something and click the filter but nothing happens and more text appears to the right of the item you selected. In desktop a proper exception is thrown.

The StrippetBrowser is working on PBI Desktop, but not showing the content, source, or other fields online. Only shows the Title field. It was working online until yesterday, and is no longer working today. Would like to make use of the visual going forward, but need to resolve this first.

We're connecting to a virtual database hosted by JBoss Data Virtualization. It provides an ODBC endpoint, and when attempting to Preview the data, I'm seeing errors thrown on the server side about the SQL being sent not being parsable by the JDV engine itself. Query logs captured the incoming query as "from TableA" instead of a syntactically correct "select * from TableA" query. Note that this ODBC endpoint works when connected to via SQL Server Linked Server.

If you have a "Line Chart" graph with multiple overlapping lines, and click an item in the Legend to highlight a particular line, you may not see the line through other lines. The other lines get "greyed" but are still rendered over the would-be highlighted line. Same goes for the "points" rendered along the line. Essentially the highlighted line should probably be brought forward in the z order, or it's width increased so it shows from behind the other lines.

If you edit a Slicer, and go under its format and click "Lock aspect", the switch flips to On only briefly and back to Off. The slicer's aspect is now locked, but it is impossible to turn back off. This is in Chrome Version 51.0.2704.103 m

I'm simply trying to connect to a SharePoint image library. This was working on 25/07/2015, but now I get an error. DataSource.Error: We couldn't parse OData response result. Error: A null value was found for the property named 'PeopleInMediaId', which has the expected type 'Collection(Edm.Int32)[Nullable=False]'. The expected type 'Collection(Edm.Int32)[Nullable=False]' does not allow null values. Details: DataSourceKind=SharePoint DataSourcePath=https://[my_company].sharepoint.com/sites/[my_site]/_api/Web/Lists(guid'[the_guid]')/Items For a similar error, someone suggested changing the ApiVersion = 15 to 14 in the Power Query Advanced Editor but that doesn't fix it. I've tested with a fresh image library with just one picture that I Shared to try to bypass the error, but it still fails. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have a user that I shared a dashboard with. He is an individual user that signed up with the free license. He is unable to access the dashboard I just shared with him, but when I log-in as him, I am able to access the dashboard. Has anyone been able to figure out what this is? I saw a post awhile ago that had no resolution.
