Hi Anonymous,

 

As stated earlier, attached is a dummy file that I created today for sharing purposes. This is the dummy version of the file as I cannot share the actual file but i have used the same as the original file.

 

I hope you are able to download the file from the link below.

Hi Anonymous,

Have you tried my PBIX file? With your PBIX file, I cannot get Cortana to work, however, if I change the page name to "Cortana new page", Cortana works well. I suspect the issue is caused by  that you use reserved keyword "Cortana" as page name.

Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    I tried to rename the page name and tried but with no change in results i.e., I could have it working. In the earlier post of yours I could only access the screenshots but not the .pbix file to verify what am I doing incorrectly.

     

    Kind regards,

    Anand

        Any resolution or action items to help others struggling with hooking Cortana up to Power BI?

        I tried setting it up on two different reports, then went to app.pwerbi.com/cortana/test to see if either of them worked. One did. WooHoo. One didn't. BooHoo. I don't know why one would work and one not.

         

        Regardless, even the one that was working on the test still did not show up when I typed in the same interrogation phrase in my Desktop Cortana.

         

        Scouring the forums, sites, etc. but finding no definitiev answers as to WHY or what to try next.

         

        Frustrated.
