Power BI Online not importing VSTS data

 Hi,

 

We've been using TFS since many years (contained many projects) and reports used to work beautifully. Recently, we migrated to VSTS and since then we're unable to run across-project reports. Power BI online is unable to import data (may be due to large size of VSTS projects, I'm using * to pull all projects). How can I get this fixed?

 

Thanks

Hi @GurpreetSingh,

 

Based on test, it seems works on original VSTS source.(without migrate)

Can you please share more detail contents about this issue? It will be help for troubleshooting.

In addition, you can also try to use fiddler  to trace the detailed logs of this operation.

Hi Xiaoxin (@v-shex-msft),

 

Fiddler isn't showing much details because I think https://app.powerbi.com/ would be importing data in the background (server side), and will report progress only on browser.

 

BTW, I'm not the VSTS account administrator, don't have access to all VSTS projects. Does that matter? If I put * to get all projects, will it fail or bring data of all projects which are accessible to me?

 

Also, is there a way to specify more than one projects but not * (for all projects)? If yes, I can try providing only those project names which are accessible to me.

 

Thanks,

Gurpreet Singh

Hi @GurpreetSingh,

 

>>BTW, I'm not the VSTS account administrator, don't have access to all VSTS projects. Does that matter? If I put * to get all projects, will it fail or bring data of all projects which are accessible to me?

I don't think the issue will related to account permission.


If the error only appears when you use "*", you can check your project list if there are any invalid projects who caused the issue. 

In addition, you can also use each project name to test to find out the issue project.

 

BTW, you can also ask you admin to use admin account to test.

Hi @v-shex-msft

Meanwhile, is there a way to specify more than one projects? I want to get data from 8-10 projects, not all (*). Please See error below, it is not supporting comma separated list of projects. What is the correct way to specify 2 or more projects?

HI @GurpreetSingh,

 

Current this connector seems not support multiple project names.

How can I provide multiple project names while connecting to Visual Studio Team Services? Currently, I'm getting the following error:

Unable to connect multiple projectsUnable to connect multiple projects
