Hi

 

Thanks for feedback.

I am not using DataFlow Storage in Azure DataLake, and have never used ADLS Gen2 Connectors.

This is something that MS is doing in the background.

 

I have a CDM folder structure that i stored in ADLS (Gen2) that is generated from Dynamics 365 FnO.

I have defined in PowerBI workspace a Dataflow that points to the model.json file (using DFS path).

In the report i then use PowerBI DataFlow (legacy) or powerPlatform Dataflows to read this to get my tabels.

 

After updateing PowerBI desktop I now get an error in desktop aswell.

After this i looked into the model.json file in the CDM structure. This file contains URI to the CSV files that holds the data. These URI are using the BLOB path.

I tried to hack a model.json file and changed the BLOB paths to DFS paths, and then it works.

 

So in my opinon this is a PowerBI issue, based on the limitation it has to read data from CDM.
I will create a support ticket with MS to se what they say about it..

Hi FredrikW ,

 

I'm having the same issue and have replaced blob.core with dfs.core in the model.json file. It works but after a few hours the json file is automatically refreshed with blob.core. I assume a process is pushing the model.json file from somewhere but don't know where from.

 

Did you get a response from MS team?
