Unable to publish pbix to power BI

[Cyrilbrd]

An error occured while attempting to publish 'name of the file.pibx':

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

My question is how can I track the culprit and correct the issue?

Hi @Cyrilbrd,

Based on research, this issue could be related to the configuration of proxy. So I would suggest you use Fiddler to trace what is happening between your client machine and the Power BI Service in this scenario. For more details about tracing Power BI with Fiddler, you can refer to this video.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I will have a go and see if I can make sense of the data.

Hi @Cyrilbrd

In the past I have rather just started again. The time it takes to find the issue could take a considerable amount of time.

So if it is not too complex to complete it again? Or if you have got some version history to roll back to a version that works.

Yes I agree, that it also what I did (while waiting for an answer).

I am just curious if there was a way to track the problem.
