Comment on Notes on Power BI Incremental Refresh by sateesh

Is there any alternate to use incremental refresh with Azure Data lake store(ADLS) as source in power bi, something similar to “$filter” clause in ODATAfeed

Comment on Determining Power BI Relationships by Prologika

In reply to Tom Stricker. Hi Tom, I attached the sample to the blog to help you answer these questions. You'd need the forthcoming July release of PBI Desktop to open it. The total is unaffected because there PBI knows how to handle M:M relationships.

Which is the data source or does this matter? Is this a dynamic or static source? Also is the Sales Order Number a field unique only to Employee [FullName] (in other words are the Sales Order Numbers aggregated by Employee [FullName], are Order Numbers “owned” by single Employees or can several Employees use the same Number (apparently not here since only one Employee is attached to each Number). Final report sample shows duplication (?) since one Number attached to two different Employees? Does this not create an inaccurate total since the Order Number total SO61173 ($29,141) is counted twice. If this data source is SQL Server, when I create SQL Server tables, I need to make sure each table contains at least one unique field with Identity Specification (Is Identity) defined as Yes. Otherwise data diagram cannot be created in Management Studio and data relationship joins cannot be created. Also the system does not allow creation of Foreign Keys between tables? This is all based on use of SQL Server data sources. I do not know if the above holds true for other data sources (Teradata, MS Excel, Azure, etc.).

Comment on Yet Another Relative Dates Implementation by Prologika

In reply to Frédérick Beaulieu. I typically don't implement a Relative Date dimension in Tabular. Instead, I flatten time calculations in measures, such as SalesAmountYTD, SalesAmountQTD, etc. There are a lot of formulas to duplicate but it's not that bad.

Hi,
thank you I use that solution for years in a multidimentional model and it’s working perfectly.
But I can’t figure out how to implement something like that in a tabular model… any hint ?
thanks !

Hi Mantin,

We are keen to understand more on the write back capability. Please can you share some documentation on how this works and if there is a sample we can try it with. If so we can look at the next steps.

Thanks

Comment on Power BI Feature Discrepancies for Data Acquisition by Kawabata Yoshihiro

Kawabata Yoshihiro — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 11:25:00 +0000

Nice, I hope more Yes on Live Connection to Power BI Service.
I’m using the live connection to Power BI Service, which can report the less-memory / low-power PC rather than Import
Sometimes, Less than 500MB memory usage at thousands row data.

In reply to Dan Woodhouse. Can't tell without looking but SSAS should return XML so it sounds like a configuration error where Fiddler can help. Also, make sure you use Basic authentication over HTTPS.
