RLS Analyze in Excel

[nonoliem]

My Power BI doesnot connect to Excell.

I've downloade all what is needed. But I've got repeatedly following message: "I cannot find the Olap Cubus" ( its in Dutch because my language is set to Dutch).

The strange thing is that a file from Github gives no problem what so ever.

I use windows 10 home and pro 64 bit and Excell 2010-32 bit. The file was residing in Dtopbox. Could this be a problem?

I have moved the files nwo to Onedrive.

Hope you can give me advise or a clou what causes the problem.

Thks in davance

Thks for reply. I have downloaded a Github file at random just to experience Power BI. I'am a new however enthusiatic user of Power BI. I don't now what kind of file it is. It concerns visualizations of Author contributions to something. Sorry not quite clear. I tried to insert a QR but cannot do it here.

My file is based on data extracted from an Excell worksheet ( part of a workbook). Is this the reason? Does it search for a kubus  on a SQL server or something like that? I use Excell 2010(Office 2010 Professional).

I'am free to pose another question here:

I noticed that if I move the file where data is extracted from to another location or rename it, Power BI does not follow its path nor the changes. This means that if you want to edit de data model he cannot find it and issue an error.

And probably you also cannot refresh the Pbix. But there is no way you can alter the path etc. so that Power Bi can be on track again. Do I overlook something here?

Thks in advance and kind regards

Analyze in Excel is supported for Microsoft Excel 2010 SP1 and later. Please make sure you've installed SP1 upon your Excel 2010. If your data source is part data from a excel file, it should not be the problem. For the detailed steps of using Analyze in Excel, I think you can take a look at this video and official document.

For your another question, you can change source in data source settings, or alter the data source path directly in Query Editor – Advanced Editor.

I shall translate it for you:

It says that the dataset is a on-premises data source( which is right-excell worksht on my pc). If you want to renew is you can try Power BI Pro for 60 days. etc etc.

So it seems I need Power BI Pro to be able to analyze in excell? Strange to me.

The github file doesnot give this message.

kind regards

Analyze in Excel should can also be used by free users. But if we need to access on-premises data using the Data Connectivity Gateways, pro license is needed. For difference between free and pro license, please refer to this document.

@v-haibl-msft

many Thks. I thought I had allready the SP1 but I haven't. Now I have downloaded SP2.

But still it signals no data found in Olap cubus. So some work out to do on my side. But don't know where to look really.

Anyway your advises are very helpful. It is now up to me I guess.

Perhaps he doesnot recognise the part of the worksheet, because I have modified after downloading to Power Bi the lay out etc, deleted some columns, unpivot columns etc. to my liking for power BI.

For the other question. It is now clear to me. Do not understand why I have missed the advance query tick box

best regards

Based on the message and this troubleshooting document, If you encounter an error that states Can't find OLAP cube model, then the dataset you're trying to access has no data model, and therefore cannot be analyzed in Excel. What is the file from Github?
