data source
46 TopicsDynamic File Import
I have a model that is built off of four Excel files that are stored in a network folder. The network folder contains several files that aren't associated with my model, but I need the most recent version of the four files. My dilemma is that the files have datestamps, and files from previous days need to be kept for auditing purposes. My steps are as follows: 1. = Folder.Files("FolderPath") 2. = Table.SelectRows (Source, each Text.Contains ([Name], "Text in Filename")) 3. = Table.Sort(Filtered,{{"Date modified", Order.Descending}}) 4. = Table.FirstN(#"Sorted Rows",4) 5. = Table.SelectRows(#"Kept First Rows", each Text.Contains([Name], "Text in Filename")) 6. = #"Filtered Rows"{[#"Folder Path"="Filename with Specific Date"]}[Content] How should I modify my steps so they find the most recent file that contains "X" in the name?504Views0likes1CommentData Source Connection Issue
Hi there. This is going to be a hard one to troubleshoot but here goes. My company has 2 process accounts that had a password change over the weekend. I have them configured in ODBC manager 64 bit and the new passwords test successfully. I then proceeded to update the passwords in the 3 dashboards that I have and refresh the data to ensure the new passwords work and the refresh is successful. However, when I publish all 3 dashboards back to the PBI server and try to refresh from there, I get a data source error - shown below. I also check the gateway settings and see the below. In my data source credentials, I see the below. I did refresh the gateway and the screen states it is online and ready to be used. I don't know what to do from here. I also tried the troubleshooting docs for PBI to no avail. Help! Thanks, LB624Views0likes2CommentsChange data sources for all pbix files in one go
I am currently doing a database migration from AAAAA01 database server to BBBBB01 server. All of my power bi pbix files (>100) are pointing to the same source (i.e. AAAAA01 server DB XXX ) now, and I am looking for a way to change the AAAAA01 server XXX DB to BBBBB01 server and DB YYY for all the dashboards files in one go instead of opening each of them and change it one by one.Solved933Views1like2CommentsProblem configuring data source to SAP BW
Hey! I have built a PBI report in Desktop app which used SAP BW as a data source, everything was ok, data was imported successfully and uploaded it to on-premise PBI report server. I needed to configure scheduled refresh, so I installed the SAP .NET connector on the server, typed the username and password in a report's data source window in a browser. When I test the connection it throws "Log on failed. Ensure the user name and password are correct." error. SAP audit doesn't catch any failed logins. In other words, SAP BW credentials work in PBI Desktop but not in PBI Report Server. Can you help with the problem?568Views0likes1CommentRe-publishing Report does not update Application Intent
Using PowerBI Server Version 1.8.7485.35104 Using Power BI Desktop Version : 2.51.4885.2501 64-bit (October 2017) I am not part of my businesses IT Team so I have limited support and access. I've recently been given a read only always on SQL server that reduces the impact of my queries on the main node that our application runs off. I've been able to move all SSRS reports to the correct Read Only Node. However when I republish a PowerBI "Dashboard" with the Read Only node settings. It will republish the dashboard with all the data refreshed but the Data Source will show without the ApplicationIntent=ReadOnly. There are multiple Dashboards that already exist and I have been unable to alter any of their data sources. Are data sources shared between different dashboards?? Are the other reports preventing me from changing the data sources?Solved2.6KViews0likes7CommentsData source connection strings read-only and cannot be modified?

I've published a report on Power BI Report Builder on to the workspace but it has only published the report, not the dataset.

Hello! Faced with the following problem: I have two data sources. The first is oracle database, and the second is SQL Server database. I have set up auto-update, but the update occurs only in the SQL database, how can this be solved? At the same time, if you update the data in BI Desktop, then everything goes well. P.S. the connection does not give errors.356Views0likes0CommentsUnable to update this data source's credentials. Unknown error

Hello! Apologies if this is a silly fundamentals question around something I've overlooked, I've created a report in a PBI Desktop which relies on a direct query to a local sql instance (On a seperate server to the PBIRS) to provide up-to-date register marks for a college. I'm happy with the functionality of the report in Desktop so i'm ready to deploy it to the report server for general usage. The data source in PBI Desktop is using stored SQL Server credentials, But when I deploy the report to the report server and open it i can see the report design but receive the following error: - An unexpected error occurred An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later. Please try again later or contact support. If you contact support, please provide these details. We couldn't connect to the Analysis Services server. Make sure you've entered the connection string correctly.: Request ID: 6ee9a03a-2e74-23de-c83a-8751030935a4 Time: Wed Nov 09 2022 15:56:15 GMT+0000 (Greenwich Mean Time) Service version: /powerbi/libs Can confirm the data source settings in PowerBI Desktop lists the full server/database path for the desired database and all data is queried quickly and correctly there. Have i missed something obvious? Do I need to create a data source on the PBIRS somehow to allow this connection? Many thanks for any assistance, Getting to grips with PBIRS over the next couple months so will pay as much help forward as i can 🙂Solved1.6KViews0likes2Comments
