Advocate IIIWell, this is really worrying, it is not working all day. In last year, problems with access to Power BI reports happened almoust every month. Is this occuring only in EU region, or the other regions have also so common problems?
I know, work for Power BI team is not easy. But I think, for company like Microsoft this is not acceptable. Are there no any backup servers? Many important meetings and presentations today failed because of reports drop down. Imagine the embarrassment of presentator in front of a crowd of people who wanted to see the wonders of Power BI reports.
We talk to our (potential) clients, how Power BI is better than other platforms. They could answer: Yeah, great stuff, but Tableau just work.
Two most important thing Microsoft should do:
- Reduce drop dows, reports should be avalible 24/7 (in term of PRO license capacity of course). Drop down every month is really... ah
- If there is drop down, talk to us - we would better accept failure if we would know, why this is happening. Not just, Engineers are working. We know, they are working really hard. We want to know, what is the reason and how Microsoft will prevent, that this will not happened again in the future. Transparency is the key ladies and gentlemen. Clients are asking, what went wrong, and all we can say: we don't know, they are fixing something. This point is as important as first one. Providers and users should coloborate
As users, what can we do? How can we convince Power BI team at least to talk to us?
Edit:
As i wrote this comment, status of Power BI Service is: No known issues: Power BI is running smoothly
I restart browser, open the report, and again get: Couldn't load the model schema associated with this report.
Funny
