Power BI Report builder will not connect to dataset

[Anonymous]

Hello.

Do you have any problems connecting to datasets in service from Report Builder? It was fine yesterday, today it gives an error.

Not publishing to service, just connecting from desktop client (no premium capacity).

Hi aleksandra_stan,

Is this still happening. Would like to know if it was transient or you are still hitting an issue. If so, if you can get the ActivityId's from the failure, please post here.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Well, according to this article, connecting to a dataset should not be a problem:

This article might be helpful to you as John White gives some explanations:
