I have the latest version of analyse in excel installed. I have build permissions on all datasets in the workspace. I can use "analyse in excel" from the power platform to create a spreadsheet that accesses that dataset. However, if I just open a new spreadsheet and try to insert a pivottable and use the From PowerBI option, only 2 datasets appear in the Power BI Datasets menu on the right side of the spreadsheet. There should be at least 30 of them.
I've checked my file->options-> trust center and they are all set according to documentation.
why can I see just 2 of the datasets and not all of them?
Solved! Go to Solution.
removing my email and permissions from the permission list for each dataset allowed all of the datasets to appear (and not just the ones I had specified build permissions). Of course now I see the objects for the usage reports as well but at least I can see everything.
Added the build permission to some of the rest and it took until the next morning until they appeared. But they did appear. This doesn't explain why some of the developers can see all of them and I can't. Is there a tenant or user setting I should be using instead to give build permission to any datasource in that premium workspace?
