    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:

We are experiencing the same issue with reports that are created in Desktop using a live Power BI Service connector (SSAS Tabular data source depolyed to Power BI Service). When these reports are deployed to the service, dashboard tiles will not link through to the reports. Users get a message saying they don't have access or the report no longer exists. The strange part is that it is completely random, it works for some and throws errors for others. The same reports built in the service work just fine. Seems to be an issue with building reports in desktop using the Power BI Service connector. Hope it gets fixed soon!

Glad to see it's not just me - this really does need a permanent fix, quickly.

 

Whilst I have implemented the suggested workaround of sharing reports via organizational content packs, this is a much less elegant solution and attempting to explain the technical issues and workarounds to people in the office has resulted in a general sense of apathy towards the product from the majority of end-users, when it should be blowing their minds.
