Opening PowerBI Desktop 64-bit on a Win 8.1 64-bit PC - ANY workbook OR No workbook results in the error: "We couldn't retrieve the data model for this report. Please try again later." Error started with first June release 2.106.582.0, but also occurs on most recent release 2.106.883.0. Going back to release 2.105.1143.0 and the error goes away. June releases on Win 10 64-bit on same network do not have this error. Tried changing these settings which still resulted in the error: Security > authentication browser - ticked 'use my default web browser' Preview Features > Power BI desktop infrastructure update - off (was on) Preview Features > Web page connector infrastructure update - off (was on) I've copied the details from the 'send a frown' screen below: Feedback Type: Frown (Error) Timestamp: 2022-07-02T06:16:09.3822388Z Local Time: 2022-07-02T16:16:09.3822388+10:00 Session ID: e01c4909-0350-4f57-b026-c89a06157a7e Release: June 2022 Product Version: 2.106.883.0 (22.06) (x64) Error Message: We couldn't retrieve the data model for this report.

Hi All, I have been experiencing issues when refreshing the data. Any refresh option of a dataset, or a dataflow, either manual or scheduled, takes unusually long time. Even after successful refresh the changes in the source are not propagated to the Service.    For example: I use a .pbix file as that I publish to a Workspace. After I add some measures or change some data in the .pbix (stored locally) I refresh the resulting Dataset in the Service but the Report built on top of it doesn't reflect any changes. The same holds true when using Dataflows and a Gateway.   The only way to reflect chanes is to republish the .pbix, but this resets any reports and dashboards that were built on top of these sources.   Anyone else having this issue? ...

The export with current layout option has solved many business requirements that previously involved complex workarounds. However, there is one scenario missing that is noted in the Microsoft documentation.   Export data from a Power BI visualization - Power BI | Microsoft Learn   Will the export option be updated to work when values are on rows? Currently the format is not preserved if values are on rows but this is a top use case for business users exporting data in the same format they see in Power BI.   ... View more

My users complain about the dropdown slicers in the BI model. Whenever a dropdown is first expanded, it sows limited results-I believe its always n-1 results for n items.

Hello,   When I do the refresh from the desktop it works fine, it doesn't show any errors, but then after publishing and trying to refresh it sends me an error and the most understandable of all what it shows is that the Column was not found in the table, I already did many tests and I can't understand why the error keeps coming out. Previously, I got that error with another column, which was of type Date/time and at the time I changed the data type to date, but when I got that error, I left the original data type and created a new column from that one, that partially solves it. Now with the column that currently gives me an error is that this column contains nulls and to allow me to import from the desktop I replaced those nulls, I think that this modification is causing the error but I can't find a way to correct it.   Many Thanks in Advance, Valeria ...

It's bugged if you're trying to manage your subscriptions as an admin for a workspace. Go to a workspace-> click on the gear icon->Click on subscriptions. You should see all the subscriptions for that workspace here, but you don't. So you might only see 3 of the 5 there. I know there should be more because while you're looking at that list, click on apps, and there's a refresh bug where you can see the whole list for a split second. ... View more

I am using the new Field Parameters feature to allow users to choose the measure(s) to be displayed in a matrix.

It's not obvious that -- when a user attempts to copy a single value in the Data View pane -- PowerBI actually copies the entire column into the clipboard. On large tables, this can cause PowerBI to lock up: in the best case eventually failing with an 'out of memory' error; in the worst case actually crashing PowerBI and losing any unsaved progress. ...
