Hello - I am trying to create a simple gantt chart with worksteam > Product> Epics with duration and the group tasks layer them all ontop one another. Can someone help me with layering the epics in the right Product workstream to show the gantt landscape like picture #2? This is with the Promo gantt which is paid for :https://www.vibecode-studio.nl/powerbivisuals/promo-gantt but it layers them correctly as the output which is what I am intending for.166Views1like8CommentsPower BI Service Refresh Failure Related to SharePoint Query Folding
A Power BI semantic model that has refreshed successfully for several months suddenly began failing in Power BI Service on 13-Aug-2026. (Europe) The same model refreshes successfully in Power BI Desktop. After extensive investigation, the issue appears related to query folding between Power BI Service and the SharePoint Online connector when accessing a SharePoint field whose internal name is different from display name. Expression.Error: The column '...' of the table wasn't found. Microsoft.Data.Mashup.ErrorCode = 10224 Testing reviled: SharePoint metadata can be read successfully. SharePoint rows can be read successfully. The error only occurs when Power Query performs transformations that are eligible for query folding. The error references the SharePoint internal field name. The connector exposes the field to Power Query using the display name. Disabling query folding completely resolves the issue. This suggests Power BI Service and/or the SharePoint connector is generating a folded query that incorrectly resolves or references the SharePoint internal field name. (The internal field name is not referenced anywhere in the queries.) The issue is fully resolved by disabling query folding using either: Table.StopFolding(...) or Table.Buffer(...) Again, suggesting a connector or query folding issue rather than an issue with the model, data, or M code itself.53Views0likes1CommentCant Append query to the existing query in power Query
In PowerBI, I have created a new query(missing_queries) which is missing records of a two tables (sales and sourcetable). now i want to add the those missing_queries to base query(sales). but i cant find the missing_queries in the append option. while "Append as new" has that option. I also found that it is due to circular reference. By duplicating the base query with another name or Append as New will work. Cant i append to the existing query without making it as new? Share your thoughts! Thanks!Solved51Views2likes2CommentsConnecting to a semantic Model issue
Hello, We created a Snowflake mirrored database in Microsoft Fabric. User A then created a semantic model connected to this mirrored database (OneLake). We have an older semantic model, and I migrated all the measures from it to the new semantic model using TMDL Apply. However, when I tried to connect to User A's semantic model from Power BI Desktop to create reports and visuals, I received the following error: Both User A and I are Workspace Administrators. To troubleshoot, I created my own semantic model on the same mirrored database, migrated the same measures using TMDL Apply, and then connected to it from Power BI Desktop. In this case, the connection worked successfully without any issues. My question is: Why am I unable to connect to the semantic model created by User A, even though we have the same workspace permissions? What could explain the difference in behavior between User A's semantic model and the one I created, given that both are in the same workspace, use the same mirrored database, and have the same measures migrated via TMDL? Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.146Views0likes4CommentsShare your thoughts on the New Power Query experience in Power BI Desktop (Preview)

We had an issue where Tool Tips for visuals were not displaying in Power BI Service. After some troubleshooting we realized it was an Extension in our browser blocking the tool tips from properly rendering. In our case it was a Service Now extension. We had an exception made for app.powerbi.com and app.fabric.microsoft.com added for that extension and everything is working now. Adding this message in case anyone else is having a similar issue.149Views2likes4CommentsPower BI Service Unwanted but Automatic Data Model Refresh
Hi there, I have observed as of 12th of August 2026 that a .pbix object edited on Power BI Desktop and reuploaded to a Power BI Service space has automatically refreshed the underlying data model upon arrival without being explicitly told to do so. As I saw before, this option could mostly be triggered as a scheduled option on Power BI service or manually triggering the refresh per se on Power BI Desktop. Neither of those options were actioned, but the publication of the .pbix object triggered that issue forcefully. Has there been any change or by default feature roll-out that we are unaware? We have been having the .pbix object for two years and it is the first time the data gets refreshed upon upload without being explicitly said to do so. If you could provide guidance on whether a change has happened and whether there is a way to deactivate semantic model refresh, that would be really helpful. Thanks, Adrià Termes126Views0likes7CommentsPower BI Direct Connection to SAP HANA Production Database
Hello, I would like to ask about best practices and licensing considerations when connecting Power BI directly to an SAP HANA production database. Currently, we are using a copy of our SAP HANA database as the source for our Power BI reports. This creates delays because the copied database must be refreshed regularly, meaning our reports do not contain live data. Since Power BI has native SAP HANA integration, I would like to understand whether it is technically supported and considered best practice to connect Power BI directly to an SAP HANA production database for reporting purposes. I would also like to know whether this could potentially breach SAP licensing agreements or usage policies, and whether Microsoft and SAP recommend a specific architecture for near real-time or live reporting. Any guidance or experiences with similar setups would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.Solved937Views2likes5CommentsUnderstanding Power BI B2B Licensing and Embedded Scenarios
Understanding Power BI B2B Licensing and Embedded Scenarios I'm trying to understand how Power BI licensing, Microsoft Entra B2B, and Power BI Embedded work together. I'd appreciate clarification on the following scenarios. Scenario Tenant A owns the Microsoft Entra tenant, Power BI tenant, workspace, semantic model, reports, dashboards, and apps. [email protected] is an external user. Question 1 – B2B Guest + Pro Workspace Assume [email protected] is invited as a B2B guest into Tenant A. The workspace is a Power BI Pro workspace (not Premium Capacity or Fabric Capacity). What are the exact checks Power BI performs before allowing access? Are the checks performed in this order? User authentication B2B guest validation Tenant settings Power BI license validation Workspace/App permissions Semantic model permissions RLS Is this the complete authorization flow, or are there additional checks? Question 2 – Cross-Tenant Licensing If the external user has a Power BI Pro license assigned in their home tenant (Tenant B): Can that license be used to access reports hosted in Tenant A? If yes, how does Microsoft validate the license across tenants? Does the guest require a Pro license assigned in Tenant A, or is the home tenant license sufficient? Question 3 – User Owns Data vs App Owns Data I'm trying to understand the architectural difference. User Owns Data Who authenticates to Power BI? Does Power BI evaluate the end user's identity? Is a Pro/PPU license required? What happens if the user has no Power BI license? App Owns Data Who authenticates to Power BI? Does Power BI evaluate the end user's identity or only the application/service principal? Why is Embedded Capacity required? Why doesn't the end user need a Pro license? Question 4 – Embedded with Existing B2B Users Suppose the external user is already a B2B guest in Tenant A. Instead of accessing reports through Power BI Service, they access them through a secure web application using Power BI Embedded. Is this a supported architecture? Should this use User Owns Data or App Owns Data? Which approach is recommended and why? Question 5 – Recommended Architecture For each of the following scenarios, what is the recommended architecture and licensing model? Internal employees External partners (B2B guests) Customers using a secure web portal Public-facing dashboards When should I choose: Power BI Service B2B Guest Access Power BI Embedded (User Owns Data) Power BI Embedded (App Owns Data) Publish to Web I'm looking for the recommended architecture along with the licensing requirements for each scenario. amitchandak Ashish_Mathur super227Views2likes9Comments
