file access

3 Topics

Files or folders not showing up for some colleagues that have full right access.
I am experiencing a weird behavious fomr the Report Server on Premise. A colleague of mine working with her laptop and a VM have access to a different set of folders/files even if has the same profile setting and full access to all folders when working on her PBI Desktop optimized for RS. I don't experience the same issue, and I operate in the same way (laptop or VM). The files or the folders "hide" without any pattern or apparnt reason. Do you have any tip to suggest to fix it? Many thanks. Vito

How to Access Excel or CSV Files Saved on Power BI Report Server Directly?
Hi PWR BI Family ❤ , I saw this post on how to access files saved on Power BI Report Server; however, I couldn't follow the solution. After a bit of digging around, I managed to figure out the intermediate steps you need to follow. This post is meant to enhance the original solution - not replace or criticise it: Original post from liewgm : https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Report-Server/How-to-Access-Files-Uploaded-to-Report-Server-Directly/m-p/420319 Hi, I have PBI Report Server set up and running fine. Question is how do I access the files uploaded to the Report Server directly? E.g. Pass an URL of an uploaded Excel (http://myServer/abc.xlsx) to Excel application to open it, make edits on the file and then save it back to PBI Report Server? Thanks. and the original solution provided by: Anonymous wrote: The file is stored as a binary object in the Report Server database. The Report Server API will allow you to open the file directly within Excel but not save it back. To open the file, you'll need to find the GUID of your file, and put it into the following API call: http://<your report server>/reports/api/v2.0/Resources(<your excel file's guid>)/Content/$value Then open Excel and paste that URL into the File->Open window. You will have to manually save and re-upload the file to store any changes.
