Hi,
When sharing my dashboard with external users they see the following when they open the link in the email:
The error says the following: "Cannot load data for this visual"
My data source is a SharePoint folder, does this have anything to do with the error?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @rolf1994,
Have you enabled any RLS setting on these reports? It may caused the issue.
