PBI Desktop publish not working / PBI Service .pbix upload removes backgrounds

Submitted by Advocate II on ‎10-26-2020 05:29 AM

Hi everonye,

 

starting today morning I seem to have an issue with publishing from the PBI Desktop. It just exists when I try to replace an existing report and when I try to publish, it just seems to keep loading. I've left it for like 20-30 minutes, tried loggin out and in in PBI Desktop, restarting my computer but nothing seems to be working.

 

So I figured, since I can't publish from Desktop, maybe I can upload a pbix in Service - what happens then is that it removes backgrounds - like there's no trace of it. After uploading and thus replacing a report in workspace, the backgrounds simply disappear. I can still see the references while editing the report but even after downloading a .pbix they won't appear in Desktop. 

 

Can you help fix that or suggest some workaround?

@Anonymous I have literally done absolutely nothing. I guess they fixed something, but your issue sounds way more serious IMO since I had only "republishing problem" while you sound like most of your service as well as desktop's not working...

I had to remove some of the constant lines I added using Analytics. The Y axix on the reports with the constant lines were skewed badly. Also a few of my reports did not refresh this morning at all.

I've been having the same issue as well with all my reports.  Has been going on for the last couple months.

I am also not able to publish from PB Desktop to PB Service, nor can I upload the PBX file in PB Service.  I have the latest Oct 2020 version. I do not receive any error messages, it just appears to get hung up. Has anyone had any success in finding a resolution?
