Missing Historical Data

Hi,

I am using PowerBI Pro app linked to Xero.

I have all of my 2017 & 2018 data when I use a table visualisation.

I cannot for the life of me get any of the chart visualations to show any data prior to Jan 18, although I have data in the sytem I can see in a table view from Jan 17 right through.

No filters are current, and I've tried adding them to make sure it picks 2017 & 2018 data...

Any tips?

HI @matd81,

 

I'd like to suggest you take a look at below limitations and please ensure you have enough permission.

Troubleshooting

  • Xero users must have the following roles to access the Xero content pack for Power BI: "Standard + Reports" or "Advisor". The content pack relies on the user-based permissions to access reporting data through Power BI.
  • If you receieve a failure after loading for some time, verify how long it took to see that error message. Note that the access token provided by Xero is only valid for 30min so accounts with more data than can be loaded in that timeframe will fail. We're actively working to improve this.
  • During the load the tiles on the dashboard will be in a generic loading state. This is not expected to change until the full load completes. If you receive a notification that your load completed but the tiles are still loading, try refreshing the dashboard tiles using the ... in the top right of your dashboard.
  • If your content pack fails to refresh, please check if you have connected to the same organisation more than once in Power BI. Xero only allows a single active connection to an organisation and you may see an error indicating your credentials are invalid if you connect to the same one more than once.
  • For issues connecting the Xero content pack for Power BI like error messages or very slow load times, first clear the cache / cookies and restart the browser, then reconnect to Power BI.

Hi,

I have advisor level and only one connection.

No error messages at all, it just does not pull the InvoiceLineItem table data across for 2017 at all.

All other 2017 data is there for every invoice, just not the line items....
