Power BI Live Service Connection - when will this be out of preview mode?

    Hi blindeye,

     

    I just verified that the issue should be fixed now. However, to apply the fix for the user who has this issue originally(shared before the fix), we may need to firstly stop sharing the dashboard with him, then reshare the dashboard with him. :smileyhappy:

     

    Regards

Any updates? We had a fleeting 24 hours of full functionality and now it's back to the dark days. There doesn't appear to be a way to remove the "solved" tick on this thread. Safe to say management here are deeply unimpressed.

Hi blindeye,

The fix has been reverted because of lots of regression impact it had. This issue will be fixed altogether with a new feature we are working on. As a workaround for this issue, the customers can create an App or content pack, include the report  and publish it to other users within the organization.


I just got a feedback from the Product Team. But no ETA is mentioned. So I will try to contact them again to confirm if there is an ETA on it, and post back once there is any feedback from them. :smileyhappy:

 

Regards

    Thanks - it looks like content packs are the way to go for now, I tried creating an app workspace first, but it doesn't appear to allow the upload of pbix files based on a live service connection dataset, even if the file containing the original dataset is included in the same workspace. With a content pack I can add the reports directly (which cuts out the mostly unnecessary dashboard layer) and my test subject has been able to access them so far.

    hi v-ljerr-msft,

     

    any update on this from Microsoft? this really limits power bi in my opinion, since it makes it very hard for analysts to share things...
