Hi all,
I have a question to you about an error that occur after the latest release of power bi desktop (the july releae)
The situation is the following:
We have a simple straight table but with over 400 000 entries we read weekly into power bi desktop to be able to see different types of statistics.
The table we collect data from contains no relationships.
Everything has worked very well until we did an update of the power bi desktop (July 2016 Update - 2.37.4464.602 (PBIDesktop)).
After this update, we get some error message that some of our components in our reports "can’t not display the visual"
Details of the error description provides the following:
"Error Message:
The question Referred to the column LocalDateTable_8d79b86e-8546-476b-B1ca-88fec159bee7 [Year] That Depend on another column, a relationship or a measure That is not in a valid state.
Invocation Stack Trace:
Error Code:
rsDataShapeProcessingError
OData Error Message:
Failed to execute the query. "
When I have tried to make a clean new report based on the same table, it will not work either, and we get the same error message.
I've found that the error occur If I choose to make a database connection and run the import query against the database.
If I use the same data source but choose to build the report with a “direct query” everything works as it should excepts that I don’t get the benefits of an imported table in power bi.
The column power bi complains on is a common time column, ie, a registered date and time.
We have tested the following:
- Uninstall power bi and install the new version
- Empty the cache and loaded up the table again
- We have verified that power bi not find any relationships in the table
- Tried to test an older version (on another computer) and see if we can read the same report without the same issues. Unfortunately, you can not move back an already opened file in the new version in power bi-
- We have "cleared the rights to the database" and uploaded again
Unfortunately, none of the above things worked.
New reports works if you use “direct query” on the same data table and column, but not if you choose to do an import.
No changes have occurred with the data sources - change is the new version of Power bi desktop.
Do any of you have any advice? We are very dependent on these statistics for our company's contemporary development.
Thanks in advance
