Publish Web - A network error was encountered POWER BI

[C41m]

Hello!

When I try to publish the report as a web document, some visuals don't load. They all work fine on the desktop.

The database is made up of .CSV files only.

Can anyone help me?

Hi @C41m ,

Thanks for your prompt response

@C41m ,

Workaround for Publish to Web Load Failures (CSV based reports)

Confirm the dataset was correctly published to the Power BI Service.

Manually or automatically refresh the dataset to ensure visuals are loading cloud-side.

Avoid relative file paths in Power Query  local CSVs must be fully imported.

Adjust source privacy levels in Desktop to Public before publishing.

For visuals with static data, consider converting CSVs into embedded tables to bypass refresh dependency.

If persistent 403 errors occur, explore alternatives like Power BI Embedded or SharePoint-hosted reports.

403 sounds like a denied access. 

If republishing report/refreshing the page cannot fix it you may check 'Data source credentials' here

[C41m]

In this page, all my files are set to "public".

[MasonMA]

May i know what these files are? One-drive and Sharepoint files? If they are, Power BI Service doesn't share your OneDrive/SharePoint login session and it makes the request as an anonymous cloud service.

When you 'Get Data', did you get them from 'Web.Content()' or from SharePoint Folder?

And instead of making files Public, I would 'Connect with Organizational Account' in the Service and authenticate using OAuth2 with my Microsoft account.

Hope it works:)

In Power BI Desktop, I clicked in publish button. I'm not sure where these files are. The CSV files are in a folder here on my local computer.

[MasonMA · Accepted solution]

Then I'd suggest you move the files to cloud accessible locations like Sharepoint and use Web connector or Sharepoint folder connector.

If you insisted in using local files you may need to install On-premises Data Gateway.

If your model is in import mode, there is non need to refresh anything in order to see the visuals. Of course that might be a problem when refreshing but we are not talking about that, right?

You are in import mode, right? And your sources are csv all imported. correct?

The issue seems to be that on the web the visual breaks while in desktop it works, am I correct?

Now, can you please publich to the power bu cloud in your personal workspace ane check if it works there?

The report works on my desktop; I press the publish button.

On the website, app.powerbi, everything is fine with the report, but when I publish it to the web (publish), the report displays several broken visuals.

[FBergamaschi]

I would just republish and try again later
