Cannot get access to #shared in Power BI

[andreyminakov]

Hi All!

I cannot get to #shared in Power BI - what may be the problem?

I have empty pbix with only one Query, which is Source = #shared, and I get this error, if I try to refresh the Dataset from the pbix:

"You can't schedule refresh for this dataset because the following data sources currently don't support refresh:

• Data source for Query1"

And I am able to get to #sections without problems.

@andreyminakov,

As mentioned by the above error message, it currently doesn't support refreshing #share data source in Power BI Service. 

To workaround this issue, you can refresh the data in Power BI Desktop and re-publish the PBIX file to Power BI Service.

Lydia

Hi Lydia! Thank for your reply! Wouldn't it bee cool to have such info somewhere in the PBI documentation?

@andreyminakov,

There is no official documment recorded such info. There is a similar idea about this issue, please vote it up.
