Can't export full .pbix + can't publish after live connection workaround Hi community, I've been running into a frustrating chain of issues over the past few days and wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same. Issue 1: Can no longer export .pbix with data I have reports that I've successfully downloaded as .pbix (full copy with data) many times before. Suddenly, I'm getting the error: "We couldn't export to .pbix format." The only download mode that works now is "A copy of the report with a live connection to the data online" — the full data export fails every time. For context: - The report was originally published from Power BI Desktop (not created in the Service) - Large dataset storage format is OFF - No incremental refresh configured - The tables are not large at all, so dataset size shouldn't be a factor - No deployment pipeline involved Issue 2: Can't publish after editing the live connection .pbix After making report edits in Desktop using the live connection file, I tried to publish back to the service and got this error: "An error occurred while attempting to publish 'Report Name.pbix': The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found." My questions 1. Is anyone else suddenly unable to export full .pbix files from reports they previously could download without issues? 2. Is there a known issue with the UK South region affecting exports and publishing? 3. Any workaround to publish a live connection .pbix back to the service? Thanks in advance, any help or confirmation that others are seeing this would be really useful!475Views0likes2CommentsShared Semantic Model - Connectivity Issue from different tenants
Hi Everyone, The company that I work, provide the customers workspace in which we publish power bi dashboard and semantics models, using Azure Databricks as the data source. The semantic model is build with Direct Query and the security level has been done in databricks. We grant access to the customers trough the Azure Portal and invite them as external users to our tenant. When the customers log into our tenant they are able to visualize our dashboards and use the semantic model in the power bi service (that works fine), but when they download the power bi and customize the view in power bi desktop they are not able to publish the report back to the workspace, and when they try to publish to their own workspace they are not able to access the data. The error message is that the file is published but the data is disconnected. We have enabled all the options bellow to "entire organization" Enable Cross-Workspace Semantic Model Usage Enable Semantic Model DiscoverabilitySolved3.4KViews0likes20Commentsreport data is not visible

Hi guys, I'm getting the following (not very descriptive) error while refreshing my semantic model in fabric PBI: Data source error: We found an unexpected character in the JSON input.. The exception was raised by the IDataReader interface. Please review the error message and provider documentation for further information and corrective action. Table: Web Site Data. Cluster URI: WABI-EUROPE-NORTH-B-redirect.analysis.windows.net Activity ID: eb32293c-4bc5-41a5-9980-7a28bc630e16 Request ID: c3de247d-980b-4f79-2e53-9cc75b832ec8 Time: 2025-04-30 15:03:41Z I'm not very experienced with PBI and there were no recent changes in this model, so I have no idea where to look... Any directions? Cheers, LuukSolved1.7KViews0likes4CommentsSemantic Model Refresh Error - "Reported a change in schema version"
I'm getting this error during scheduled refreshes: "The OLE DB provider \"MSOLEDBSQL\" for linked server \"ServerName\" reported a change in schema version between compile time (\"CompileTime\") and run time (\"RunTime\") for table \"\"DatabaseName\".\"dbo\".\"TableName\"\"."}}" Background: TableName is updated and reindexed nightly, but the process completes hours before the refresh. Using SQL Server 2019. Steps I’ve Tried: Restarting the on-prem gateway service after reindexing. Restarting the entire server. Updating Power BI queries from SELECT * to specific column selections. Any advice on resolving this error?Solved1.6KViews0likes3Comments
