Dataset refresh fails because of a Python script

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I worked on a report in PBI desktop and used a Python script in Power Query to hash a sensible information.

This works like a charm.

However, when I publish it on the PBI Service, the scheduled refresh keeps failing with this error:

"Message: The import Python.Execute matches no exports. Did you miss a module reference? Table: blablabla"

I assume that this is because Python is installed locally on my computer but is there a workaround ? (I'm afraid not because of this:

Hi @Anonymous,

Based on my test, it is not possible to meet your requirement currently. You vote the idea up and add your comments there to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.

Thanks Frank for the reply!

I just voted this idea. Waiting for that, I'm struggling learning R basics to adapt my Python script using R as it seems that R scripts are better supported 🙂
