  1. We couldn't import data from OneDrive-Business

    • Schedule Refresh Percentage column in Enter Data

      Dear Microsoft,

      We are facing the problem that a table created via the "Enter Data" is blocking the scheduled refresh.

      I created a table with two columns with the "Enter Data" functionality, I changed the type of the two columns to percentage and whole number respectively. But the Change Type to Percentage will cause the problem that we are not able to use the "Enterprise Gateway" in for Scheduled Refresh anymore. (The Enterprise Gateway is grayed out in this situation)

      • Focus Mode on Mobile App

        Selecting a table/matrix tile from a dashboard (Focus Mode) no longer displays the data filtered specifically for that tile. Instead, it now returns ALL data from the set. Apparently this bug only began in the most recent version of the iPhone mobile app. THIS IS CRITICAL!

              • Visual Level Filter removed after Drilldown

                After placing a visual level filter on a chart,
                when using the drilldown feature, the filter only appeared to apply to the lowest level of the hierarchy. The filter does not apply to all levels of the hierarchy for the chart.

                This issue has been noted previously:
                https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/360879-issues/suggestions/13890087-filter-removed-after-drill-down-and-drill-back-up

                I wanted to make Power BI aware and ask for any updates if possible.

                • DataSourceError: Analysis Services: The Auto Exist Operation is exceeding the permitted memory limit and is being canceled

                  I am trying to import a Tabular Model into Power BI. If I load in everything except for the date tables, it works fine. If add in a date table, and a fact table, I get the error DataSourceError: Analysis Services: The Auto Exist Operation is exceeding the permitted memory limit and is being canceled. I saw this error in community.powerbi.com but I didn't see a resolution for it.
                  Can anyone tell me what I can do to resolve this error?

                              • Personal Gateway Failing to update data and wont allow credential input

                                Hi hopefully someone can help me here,

                                Im using the personal gateway to refresh folders of csv files. Previously(yesterday) the refresh worked fine manually, however I had the scheduled refresh set for today at 10am and firstly the refresh failed stating the credentials were missing from the cloud. Secondly when going to edit credentials there is no option to edit the credentials any more, when I click on"Data source credentials" there is nothing in the drop down. Have I missed a step here or will this just not work in this way?

                                Thanks for your help

                                • Sudden increase in .pbix file size

                                  I work as a BI consultant at a Microsoft CSP. I have built a model using sales data from Dynamics NAV which we will offer to our customers.

                                  I built the model and made a few report pages in the file and at this point the file size was close to 3MB. I then gave the file to a colleague that should finish the report and make them look nice. After working with the reports the file suddenly increases in size to a little more than 65MB (more than 22 times the original size).

                                  No changes have been made the…

                                  • Unable to save the report - JIRA content pack

                                    I added the JIRA content pack. I edited the filters on the report, and it was unable to save. I ended up using "save as" to save the report. Then, I continued editing the new report, when I tried to save it, it again gave me the error that it could not save.

                                    I do not want to keep using "save as" since I have to rebuild my dashboard by pinning from the new report each time.

                                    • Percentage format stopt working with SSAS live connection to MDX cube.

                                      After upgrading to the Power BI November release all my measures with a percentage format are now shown as floating points.
                                      This ruines the whole report.
                                      I use a live connection to on premisse SSAS MDX cube via the gateway.
                                      It worked fine before I upgraded to the november Power BI desktop version.
                                      PLEASE FIX THIS ISSSUE.
