I was wondering what connector options we had to successfully integrate data from SABA into Power BI. Been looking into it for a hot minute now but can't find any useful info.
Thanks :)
I am Trying to refresh Dynamics 365 data in power bi Web, It worked perfectly fine for initial 3 refreshes and later started running for very long time and broke, I tried to refresh data from Power Bi Desktop and its working perfectly fine
I used power Automate to schedule the process so that way it might get better but no luck since the refresh is not happening from web
Error from Power Automate:

Any help here is highly appreciated
Good morning,
I am looking for any solution that could help me analysing how many times is a PowerBI report opened and who opens it. I cannot use the PowerBI analytics.
I was thinking that PowerAutomate might have a Power BI whenopened trigger or something that could work like that.
Does anyone know if it is posible to develope a Power Automate flow that checks that?
Thank you so much!
May be this is stupid question.
I am using Sisense for the analytics. Back end is SQL Server. Now we are thinking to move to Power BI. When I search for Power BI I see different versions. 1) desktop power bi 2) azure power bi.
Does both are same ? I can search for tutorial on google but I want some perfect direction. I want the similar kind feature that's sisense have.
Thank you.
Is there still no way for Power BI Desktop to automatically refresh data without publishing pbix to Power BI Service? Due to threat of private information leakage, we want to maintain our data only via Power BI Desktop (not using Power BI Service first). We have been looking for ways on how to work around the automatic refresh in PBI Desktop for over a day already but all pointing us to publishing pbix to Power BI Service, which will allow us to schedule the refresh after. Any feedback will be much appreciated.
Thank you!
There is no supported way to do this. The easiest workaround is to teach your users to click on Refresh button. Second easiest thing could be to use DirectQuery instead of import mode.
There are some attempts for workarounds from the community, but you should use them with caution:
PBIXRefresher and pbixrefresher-python scripts by Michal Dúbravčík
Write some code that starts opens the .pbix file in Power BI Desktop, finds its PID, then finds the port on which the child Tabular process listen and use Tabular Object Model (TOM) to refresh it
Use Power Update (paid) tool
But leaving workarounds aside, Power BI is compliant with a lot of security standards. Data leaks of data from the cloud in most (all?) of the cases will be caused by a human factors, which is also possible with on-premise data. But if it is a no-go for your organisation, then either use Power BI Server on-premise, or another reporting tool (e.g. SSRS).
There is no way to automate the refresh in PowerBI desktop. You have to manually click the refresh button. Many organisations trust PowerBI Service with their data. However, in the case that you have some serious data residence restrictions, then you can deploy PowerBI Report Server on premises and publish to this without your data leaving your network.
