Can't publish a report from Power BI Desktop

[avneesh_sharma]

Hello,

I am trying to publish a report I made in PowerBI Desktop but I am getting an error that says:

Error Message:

Publishing failed for an unknown reason.

The source for the report is an Excel sheet stored on OneDrive - Business. I also tried to publish the pbix to OneDrive and import it through the web but got the following error;

"We couldn't import data from OneDrive - Business

It is giving the same error when I am trying to import the excel file to PowerBI as well. Has anyone come across such an error before?

Thank you in advance.

There have been a flurry of posts on this subject, seems to be a general issue at the moment. However, I just tried it as in seconds ago and it seemed to take longer than usual but it was successful. Mine was a brand new file with the June version of the Desktop.

I have been trying to do that for almost an hour now. Hopefully it goes through like yours did. Thanks,

Yep, I've had three reports fail to publish at least two times each so far this morning. I just waited a minute and tried again until they finally succeeded. This is probably just a transient service issue. If you keep trying I suspect it will eventually go through.
