Hi All,
I was creating a test KPI on my report server but I am getting an error.
Can someone help me realising what I might be doing wrong? Or is there somewhere I can see the error logs for the Power BI Report Server?
Thanks
Hello Pragyamishra,
sorry for the late answer, but I had the same issue than you (when change to use dataset instead of pre-filled value), I got an error.
After a large numbers of hours spent to try all solutions provide on internet, I finally found the one 🙂
error is in fact not on KPI, but when loading datasets.
so, to avoid this, you have to update rsreporterserver.config on server.
Found that section :
<UI>
<ReportServerUrl></ReportServerUrl>
<PageCountMode>Estimate</PageCountMode>
</UI>
and update it like this :
<UI>
<ReportServerUrl>http://YourServerName/ReportServer</ReportServerUrl>
<PageCountMode>Estimate</PageCountMode>
</UI>
that's all, this solution works for me, and now, I can create KPIs.
Hope it will help you.
Regards,
Hi @pragyamishra,
PBIRS uses the same infrastructure as reporting services. You can see more info on that here. Default path of trace log files: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Report Server\PBIRS\LogFiles
Besides, please restart the Power BI Report Server service for a test.

Thanks but I still cannot create a KPI except a default one.(Tried restarting the report server as well).
When I try to change anything from the defaults provided while creating a KPI, i can't create a KPI. 😞
