Power BI RS January 2026 – Reports Using RLS Enter Infinite Reload Loop
We upgraded to the January 2026 latest release of Power BI Report Server, which is reported to include a fix for this issue: Version: 1.25.9558.32914 (build 15.0.1120.122), Released: March 5, 2026 Fixed issue where Power BI reports with RLS get stuck spinning. However, this keeps happening for any user that is not set-up with a Role in the RLS report. This is very confusing; previous versions were displaying a relevant error message that helped identify the issue (missing access rights). But now the report keeps reloading over and over! Please advise Regards
Any way to display warning if data is stale from a data source error?
I'm using Power BI Report Server in import mode for a few reports/dashboards and have them displayed on large monitors. These dashboards are used to display real-time data (within the last 5 minutes). I have a script that clicks the refresh button on the dashboard every minute to catch the background refresh and ensure that the visuals are constantly updated on the display. I have a "Last Refresh" visual at the top of the dashboard which shows the last successful refresh. Is there any way to use HTML, pbiviz plugin, or some other method to compare last successful refresh time to the current system time when the refresh fails? I need a way for people to know that the data they're seeing is stale data because of a failure in refreshing from one of the data sources. As I understand it, the method would need to somehow have access to local system time as UTCNOW will have the last successful refresh time instead of the actual current system time.
Not able to display icons as labels.
I was trying, using the custom label functionality, to display an icon indicating a top-ranked supervisor but, no matter what I try, it always displays the character code rather than the icon itself The odd thing is when I try to do basically the same thing on the Power BI Desktop it works just fine Any thoughts on this? Thank you all.
RLS and Filters in Reporting server
Hi Everyone, I am new to RLS, recently in my report I defined a role where particular users can view their specific companies. Although it works perfectly, but when it comes to filters on the right side (i.e. Power BI RS's default filters), they can view all the companies, which they are not allowed. When those companies are selected, there is no value for them in the visuals that means it is working, but I don't know why they are able to view other companies as well. The similar issue is happening with my different tables that are connected to company table. Let me give you an example. Assume there are 10 companies: Apple, Google, Vivo, Xiaomi and so on. Role 1: All Projects related to company APPLE (Here the user can view all projects that comes under APPLE) Role 2: All Projects related to company GOOGLE (Here the user can view all projects that comes under GOOGLE) Users Inserted in Role 1: XYZ1 and XYZ2 Users Inserted in Role 2: XYZ3 and XYZ4 Now, in an idle report server XYZ3 and XYZ4 should only see company GOOGLE in their Filter on the right. However, they are able to filter APPLE, VIVO, XIAOMI, GOOGLE and others also. Why? Please note, this happens only for fitlers, Visuals are working fine. The same issue is with other filters that comes from different tables and I don't want XYZ3 to view APPLE Projects, even in the filters. Thanks in advance.
Trying to connect to a SQL Database
I am trying to connect to a SQL server database but I keep getting this message: "An exception occurred: Microsoft SQL: A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake." My manager connected to the database but this keeps happening when I try. Any suggestions would be great. ThanksHow to define Date Range for Parameters in Report Builder
Hi, I have a request to have a date range filter based on submission date in a paginated report, I am able to create the date range and it's working, however the report has only 3 years worth of data and the date range showed in filters displays all possible dates from 1800s, so users can select older dates although there's no data for those dates. I am trying to limit the date range filter to the relative dates in the dataset but I can't figure a way to do that. My paginated report is connected to a PBI dataset so I am using dax. This is my query ----------------------------------- DEFINE MPARAMETER s_start_dt = FORMAT(@s_start_dt, "MM/dd/yyyy") MPARAMETER s_end_dt = FORMAT(@s_end_dt, "MM/dd/yyyy") VAR __Table1 = SUMMARIZECOLUMNS( Query1[Category], Query1[Aggregate Underwriting Comp], Query1[violation_id_link], FILTER(VALUES(Query1[sbmsn_dt]),Query1[sbmsn_dt]>= @s_start_dt && Query1[sbmsn_dt]<= @s_end_dt) ) EVALUATE __Table1 ORDER BY Query1[sbmsn_dt] desc -------------------------------------------------- the parameters are defined as Date/Time with no available values nor default values Below is a screenshot of how I see the date rnage right now, any help would be appreciated! I have also tried the usual way where I add a calendar data source with relative dates (min and max based on my dataset), but this displays 2 boxes in the report for "From" and "To" Dates with dropdown to choose the date (like a dropdown text) which is not very intuitiveSelected row not showing up on table when printed out.
I'm having an issue when I select a row on my table and go to print out the page. That specific row is "whited" out or blank across all columns. This is the first time I've made a report that I want to print out and need the information. Is there a way to prevent this row from being blank? Below are two screenshots I took. One of me selecting the row in the report. The other is of the pre-print page showing the empty row. Thanks
