Error Msg: Unable to convert a value to the data type requested for the table " column ".
I'm working with a Direct Query from PBI Desktop to a Semantic Model stored in the cloud. The Semantic model has a number of measures defined, including quite simple ones like: Measure = SUM('table'[columName]) However, I'm consistently getting these error messages in Reports with the Direct Query. The measures work fine in the underlying PBIP that I'm using to define the Semantic model. I found some older posts about this error, but nothing recent. Is anyone seeing something similiar, is there a resolution beyond re-writing the measure 'locally' where the report is being authored? What is stranger is sometimes the measures work and sometimes they don't. If I drop them into a visual in isolation, I don't get errors, try to add them to more complex visuals i.e. tables with mulitple columns all heck breaks loose. Thanks!
All measures not showing up in Power BI Report Builder
I am creating Paginated Report based on PBI Dataset. I selected Dataset as Data Source, but while creating Dataset using Query Designer I get notification under "Measures" category: More Measures exist than can be shown. And many measures needed for my report are not in my measure folder. How do I access full list of measures? I tried adding them manually in querry Expression, but as soon as I add measures that don't show up in querry designer, I get this error:
Error "The Item '' cannot be found" when scheduling refresh
Hello all! we just upgraded our server to Septemeber 2022 and are running into an issue with scheduling refreshes. This is a new thing we've never done on this server before, so I'm not sure if this issue is related to the upgrade or just server set up. When trying to schedule a data refresh, we're getting an error message of "The item 'x/x' cannot be found. However, the item exists, and works. How can we fix this?
')' expected, but all () statements are closed
Hello, I am getting an error in Power BI Report Builder that I am positive I should not be getting. I'll let it speak for itself. Here is the error message: But here is the formula for "DataBar2": Can you see the problem? All four sets of parentheses have an opening and closing parenthesis, but the error message says that it expects a closing parenthesis somewhere. My question is, where does it expect the closing parenthesis, and why? Please ensure you have thoroughly read the question and passed a Captcha before responding. I don't want another extremely unhelpful response from a bot. EDIT: Here is some context: The "Percent" in the formula refers to a dataset I have named Percent. The deductible value was taken from the same cube in both my main and Percent datasets, but the percent dataset aggregates by State and Year fields while the main one also aggregates by City. The above formula is used for the City level databar. The goal is to have a report that separates the data by state and city, with the parameter being Year. I figured that by creating a new dataset that gives the deductible by year and state, I could get subtotals for each state within each year. Here's a sample of the report in design view: And here's a picture of what the report currently looks like without the databar: The far right column is supposed to show the total by state or city and year. 99,669.71 is the grand total, but 4100 is the total for the year 2005. 4100 is shown at the bottom as a total column, as shown here:

When attempting to Edit a Report in Power BI Desktop from the Power BI Report Server, I receive the "Something went wrong - Value cannot be null.

Hi, Need help to understand more about an error message that I receive when opening a file on Power BI Optimized version, I make sure that I do not use the Import Query, no Order-by, no CTE or any other limitations that may throw an error, but with all the precautions, I receive an error message with not very helpful details. It would be great if Power BI could guide the user with appropriate error details. Need help to understand, is there any way to get more details about an error.Scheduled Refresh Issue - [0] 0: Model can not be refreshed for files not mapped to a network share
I have just published my first reports to BI report server . One of which has 4 pages , for display purposed I have another 4 reports that are the individual pages of the first report (ie first report with pages deleted but exactly the same underlying data and design). They all run on a 3 minute schedule refresh. I have noticed that they all fail intermittently at different times and they give the following error message: "Data refresh failed. Please try again later or contact your administrator." With the information giving error details: "SessionID: 979d17a1-e778-4ba3-accb-e3f69575a904 [0] 0: Model can not be refreshed for files not mapped to a network share" What am I doing wrong / how can I rectify these. at first they were all refreshing fine but now they have become divergent and therefore all show data from different times.
