The Web.Page function requires Active Scripting to be enabled in Internet Explorer
We were able to solve the issue. The issues was Local Group Policy was blocking the service user(pbiegwservice) to use Active Scripting.
* From the Windows Server Start menu, open the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).
* Under Local Computer Policy, expand Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Internet Control Panel > Security Page > Internet Zone.
* Right-click Allow active scripting and click Edit.
* In the Allow active scripting dialog, click Enabled.
* In the Options area, select Enable from the list.
Hi,
same problem, but answer marked as solution above does not help.
I have web site (google sheet as https) as data source with approx 8k rows and 25 columns. In Power BI Desktop and in Power BI Services on web (via on-premise PBI gateway) is the same problem. Sometimes refreshing data from this web finish with sucess but usually failed because the Active scripting error. But active scripting is enabled in IE on my PC as well as on server, where the gateway service is running. We have latest gateway, latest desktop app installed ....
I don't understand why sometimes the same datasource in the same report refreshed smoothly and sometimes failed!!!
Thanks for any suggestions.
EDIT 2020-03-02
After latest update of Power BI Desktop app and Gateway, it seems that whole proces goes smoothly...
