Since this morning we are having massive difficulty publishing reports to our workspaces. There are a number of reports, both with live data sources or "presentation" ones based on static spreadsheets over various workspaces. Regardless of the data source or complexity of the models they are taking anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour or more to publish if they publish at all. We have also frequently been receiving an error saying we cannot publish to a workspace please contact the admin/owner (that would be me!) I've check and the workspace login matches my PBI login. Also logged out of both and back in again to make sure it wasn't that, also, my colleague is having the same problems and has done the same thing. The reports we're working on were the same that, yesterday, were publishing in a few minutes (let's say 3 minutes max for the most complex). I spoke to our IT guys and they haven't made any changes or noticed anything out of the ordinary and the changes we've made are little more than cosmetic so should not result in such a sharp increase in upload time. Please could you let us know if there is anything else we can do from our end to identify the cause? ... View more

Datasets on scheduled refresh fail and give the following error on the schedule refresh page:   Before the data import for XXXXXXX finished, its data source timed out. Double-check whether that data source can process import queries, and if it can, try again.   There is no error on the refresh history, it just shows failed.  It is a different table name every day.  Refresh Now works for these datasets when I try them an hour or two later.     I believe this started after I updated to the Februrary on-prem gateway.     ...

For the last 30 minutes it has not been possible to show reports in the service. They are just loading and never finishes. I have tried with reports from different sources, so the problem is in the Power BI Service.    Can someone fix this ASAP? I'm based in northern europe. ... View more

Hello everyone! I am using Power BI Desktops and Power BI Reports Server. Problem occurs when I am sending the link for a report via mobile app: (Ios 12.3 phone, PBI lastest version from the AppStore installed) When I send over a link via email, over Imessenger or sms:   User receives a link and report description. If user attempts to open it, the following issues arise: Using computer: user gets into a cloud version of PBI, or gets a list of reports on the server, but the report itself wouldn’t open. Using mobile: The AppStore link opens up, user gets a dialog window “install/open” PBI app and then a list of reports on the server app comes up     When link is sent via WhatsApp messenger: only a window screenshot is sent. I would like a screenshot to be sent with a report link attached to it. Also, I would like to open a link and get straight to the report itself, ideally with filters.   The situation is similar with Android phone and latest version from PlayMarket. However, in apps I tested so far, screenshot is sent with a link. When clicking the link, the behavior would be identical to IOS, screenshot is sent only. So here I also would like it to do the following: Receive the screenshot with a link and when I hit the link I would like to get straight to the report, preferably with filters. ... View more

Is the relationships display in Desktop supposed to save the current position.  In other words, if I drag the hierarchy the way that I want, isn't it supposed to save it?  I seem to get constant issues where I clean up the display only to come back in and it is all hosed up.  Sometimes it seems to save it properly.  What am I missing? I had the one below all nicely laid out and then come back in later and it is all messed up per below.   ... View more

Normal behavior for a stepped matrix with more rows than currently displayed is to show the grand total as a floating row at the bottom. However, when stepped layout is turned off, so is this grand total, regardless of subtotal and per row subtotal settings. Here are screenshots showing the current behaviour (pardon the heavy redaction). The ideal behaviour would be to continue showing the grand total even in non-stepped layout. All row subtotals are enabled in both screenshots. Using version 2.60.5169.4101.     ... View more

This is becoming a very big pain point for me.... It is crucial that my colors stay consistent throughout my report, However, the colors will change in the service!!   Below image shows what I have set in Desktop.       Below shows what is in the Service. Even when I try to re-publish my desktop report. The colors won't match. I have to completely delete the report from my service, then publish. And even then it only lasts a day before the colors are changed.       You will notice, it is all the same colors in both charts.... However, they are just taking different priorities.... In Desktop, I have the magenta line as top priority, but in the Service, it doesn't follow that.   Please, please, please fix this. There are so many threads about this, that have supposedly been resolved, but the issue is not resolved. ... View more

Not a huge issue as there is a simple work around, but I wanted to report anyway.   I am getting reports from several users that, occasionally, the new custom App navigation links will link to a tab is in a completely different report. I am not able to replicate it myself, but I did have the users share their screen and I was able to confirm the issue. It seems to happen after the user quickly moves between reports and tabs, and only seems to impact 1 of the navigation links. The rest seem to work fine.   Having the user reset by going to https://app.powerbi.com/home, then going back into the app fixes the issue. ... View more

Dear community.   Me and my colleges are experiencing a strange issue for already an hour. If I try to publish a report that already exists in a workspace (any workspace, including "My workspace"), the publishing does not complete. First I get asked if I want to overwrite the existing one, I choose "yes", the publishing begins, but it never ends. The model is a live connection to AAS, so no actual data is being transfered to PBI Service. I'm using the lates version of Power BI, and I've tried different combinations of reports/workspaces. The problem is always the same: we cannot overwrite an existing report. Yes, we have latest version of PBI Desktop and yes we have access to workspace/report/publishing to that workspace. It was working yesterday and nothing has changed from then. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.   UPD: The publish will succeed if you wait 30-40 minutes. ... View more

Hello,    I have been using Power BI Desktop and the Service for the last 3 years everyday and over the past week I have noticed that the Power BI Service is much slower than it has ever been. It can take 5-10 seconds per click in our environment in West US and in our customer environment.    I noticed the most lag when I enter edit mode and try to change up reports. When I try to drag a new field on to the canvas from the data fields pane, you use to be able to see the field name next to the mouse cursor as you dragged around the canvas however now it seems glitchy and can take up to 5 seconds to appear.    We did a webinar last week and have all of this abnormal latency recorded. We do not use Power BI Premium.    Has anyone else seen anything similar? Please help us get back to user experience that we are used to!   Thanks,    David ... View more

When I enter focus mode, some pages show multiple, overlapping visuals/slicers instead of just the one I entered focus mode from.  This doesnt happen on all pages but does on most.  I just upgraded to the April release and it is now happening in both the Desktop and Service! (it was only happening on Service prior to this)  An example is shown below (black squares are my masking of identifying data):   Anyone else having this issue?   ... View more

Created a python script which executes fine in Power BI desktop.  The script exports a table called output which I then format.  I want to make the dataset available to others in my work group and so am attempting to create a new dataflow starting with a blank query.  I coppied and pasted the contents of my desktop files advanced editor into the blank query and recieved the following error that comes up at the 'Run Python script' step.   "We encountered an error during evaluation. Details: Expression.Error: The import Python.Execute matches no exports. Did you miss a module reference?"   I updated my power bi desktop version and re-tried with the same result.  I've coppied and pasted as plain text with the same result.  Is this a bug similar to the one when R script was originally released or is there something I can do to fix this error and get the same output as in my desktop file? ...

There is an issue with the relative date slicer in Power BI service - one cannot select different options.   For instance, if you start creating a new report in the service and create a relative date slicer visual, you cannot change its default settings.   Or if you have a report developed in Power BI Desktop with a relative date slicer in it, when published to the service, you cannot select a different option for the slicer.   ...
