Power BI Service filtering out data. Data is accessible in PBI Desktop

Hey All,

 

I have a data model created in PBI Desktop and it works no problems. However as soon as I publish it the PBI Service only a small percentage of  the data is accessible. (either in the file itself or the consuming file linked to it)

 

This started occuring last month. After numerous refreshes/republising it sorted itself out so I thought it was a server side issue. However the problem has returned.

 

The data model file has been used for years and there hasnt been any major changes to it recently. I have tried rolling back the Desktop versions but that didnt help. 

 

It is weird because I can access the data in the Desktop, but in the PBI Service it refuses to display.

 

I have also tried

  • deleting the files from the Workspace and republishing, but this didnt help.
  • publising to a brand new spanking Workspace, but this didnt help.
  • I tried refreshing the data model via Power BI Service ("Refresh Now" option), but this didnt help.
  • I checked that all Data Source Credentials are working

I may rebuild the data model however this will take days and I am not entirely convinced this will solve the problem as the file works in Desktop but not in the Service.

 

Any one else experiencing this problem?

 

Any ideas how to overcome this problem.

 

Thanks

Daniel

Okay I think I discovered what was wrong.

 

There were two tables (amaongst scores of tables) that were not refreshing even though I didnt get any error messages during the global refresh in desktop.

 

Once I manually refreshed the tables everything was back to normal. (fingers crossed)

Hi @veganEarth 

 

I doubt whether RLS  or Intremental Refresh has been applied.

Thanks for your input.

I am using RLS and I am ADMIN so it should work for me.

I am not using Incremental Refresh  so this is not relevant
