Hello
In the recent past, I have been able to connect to a PBI dataset via Excel PowerQuery. I click thru the PowerPlatform, select the tenant - and then generally I have 4-5 datasets to choose from. Unfortunately my attempt today - I only have one dataset for selection- which is not the one I need
.
I do have access to the dataflows that relate to this missing dataset and I am able to see all datasets when I vo into hte service. I have looked at various settings - I am the administrator on needed dataset.
I tested another excel file - where I had made the dataset connection in the past - my cubevalues seem to be working as expected. However, going thru the power platform power query options - I am still missing the needed dataset.
Any thoughts on what I am missing.
thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Good morning! As far as I can tell - the permissions are equivalent across the multiple datasets. I am the administrator on all.
In my research - I did learn that these missing datasets are available via Analyze in Excel, so I now have a model connection. Which I assume is equivalent as going thru the Power Platform option.
thank you!
