The October updates are really a joke. ‌😡‌

Lastest Report Server and latest Desktop Applikation (Oct Release).


I have unchecked the preview feature mentoined above... edited my report, saved it, uploaded it to the report server -> its working.

Then I reopend the report from my local disk, errror while opening:

Because of n:m Relationship which is not supported -> Report has no n:m Relationships

OR

Model with DirectyQuery AND Imported FIles whis is also not supported -> Report has only DirectQuerys


I edited the report, saved it, closed Power BI Desktop, uploaded it to Report Server and reopend the SAME file from my local disk and then boom error.

Now, the report is working in our report server but I'am unable to edit it, because I can't open it...


Iam totaly pissed, really. Its a shame, sorry.

DenisPH Do you have any copies of the report in the backup folder here:

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop SSRS\TempSaves\Backups

 

If you do, try opening that copy but make sure you have the Ehanced Metadata switch turned off before opening. Also you mention the report is working fine in the server, were you seeing issues either in Desktop or Server when the switch was turned on? You can also try reopening your existing report with Enhanced metadata turned on and I suspect it will work, however that goes to my question above on what issues were seeing before.

    Hi,

    Do you have any copies of the report in the backup folder here

    No backup available, folder is empty.

    If you do, try opening that copy but make sure you have the Ehanced Metadata switch turned off before opening.

    Ehanced Metadata is/was already off while opening the report.

    Also you mention the report is working fine in the server, were you seeing issues either in Desktop or Server when the switch was turned on?

    With Ehanced Metadata on, I was not able to open the report in the server.

    You can also try reopening your existing report with Enhanced metadata turned on and I suspect it will work

    With Ehanced Metadata on, I can't open the report in the desktop applikation, same error like before with Ehanced Metadata turned off.
