Problem creating PowerBI App
Hi PatersonPrado,
it seems you have create a Template App Workspace, is that intentional?
You probably have this setting enable in the settings of your workspace:
A limitation for Template Apps is that can only consist one dataset. For regular Apps, this is not the case.
I'm not sure if you can revert the workspace back to a "regular" workspace, I haven't done that.
If you can't go "back", you can always create a new "regular" workspace, publish your reports there and publish the app from there.
Hi Anonymous,
If this is just a rant, totally fine 😀
However, if you want to improve things for everyone, can you mention where the docs don't align with the products you're using, so we can get them updated?
Nowadays, most docs are also (github)pages where you can suggest edits/additions to be made. So if you see an inconsistency, please do report it there and then so other users aren't falling into the same trap 😉
Thanks,
Nicky
Here's a good example though:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/power-bi/admin/service-premium-large-models#enable-large-models
I went to this page because the service is suggesting to me that I would benefit from having this switched on. Doc makes it sound simple. Just a matter of fflipping the toggle but in the service it's greyed out. No info on why it's greyed or how to get it ungreyed.
That brick wall is less of a third of the way into the article and I know from past experience that trying to get an answer on this sort of thing from MS is a complete waste of time and the docs just tensd to send you round in pointless circles.
As a complete shot in the dark, I would guess getting it ungreyed involves paying more money
Anonymous,
Did you also have a look beyond the brick wall 😀, at the bottom at Limitations and considerations it mentions a few reasons why it might not work, a.o. having a new (V2) workspace.
On the new WS as far as I'm aware. The DC we use in the approved list so nothings immediately jumping out from the tbh. I think it's just badly laid out. It doesn't say anything about exclusions in that section and you have to scroll right to bottom to even find out that there are caveats to using this feature. If it's greyed out in the service, why not have a message explaining why it's greyed out there?
Had very similar issues wqith Data Factory in the past where V1 and V2 appear to be completely different and the docs just send you round in circles. If my job was professional doc reader, there would be no issue as then I spend all day every day doing it lol but IU only realluy want to reference docs (Quickly!) when I need to
