Hi Fellow: 

 

Wanted to know if the subscription emails work if the source dataset is getting refreshed through OneDrive? 

 

I have a PBIX file which I have saved in OneDrive for Business folder. I then got onto PowerBI and used "Get Data"-->"From File"-->"From OneDrive for business"  and then imported it into PowerBI. 

 

Now whatever changes I make to that PBIX on OneDrive (through PBI Desktop), they are updated to the Dashboard automatically within an hour but the subscription mails don't seem to be going out even after I refreshed the data on PBI Desktop and saved  it. 

 

Is there something that I am doing wrong or missing on?

Is your UPN different to your actual e-mail-address? If yes, then you probably are affected by the bug which is described here.

The problem seems not to be the data source itself but the fact that the Power BI cloud service seems to send the mails to your UPN.

    Our UPN is same as our email ID and the whole organization is on Office365. 

     

    Thanks for sharing the information though. Useful information.
