I created a BigQuery table from Google Sheet.
When I am trying to query this table from BigQuery - everything is ok.
In the Data Studio, I've created a data source that calls that BigQuery Table, but when I'm attempting to use this data source in a report - I get an error.
Then I checked the Query history in BigQuery to see how Data Studio tries to access it, I saw this error message:
Error while reading table: dataset.Table_sheet, error message: Failed
to read the spreadsheet. Error code: PERMISSION_DENIED
The same query when I run it directly in BigQuery works just fine, but not when I access it from Data Studio.
The solution to the problem - surprised me =).
Dear stranger, you should go to the data studio and create a data source directly from the Google Spreadsheets - you will be prompted to authorize Data Studio to access your Google Drive. After granting access to this new data source - the one you created before will be able to query the table as expected. Seems like a workaround, but it works.

I am using Dataform to create a table on a dataset that I have created on a Google Cloud project, but I get this error:
"Access Denied: BigQuery BigQuery: Permission denied while getting Drive credentials."
Why? What should I do about this?
In a compiled version of a sqlx dataform file I try to create or replace a table.
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE my_project_id.my_data_set.my_table
I'm not using a table that reads something from Google Drive but I am creating a new one. The service account associated with my dataform project has Dataset Owner access rights to my_data_set, and interestingly the dataform project is able to create views, but not tables.
I finally found a solution to this problem. To solve this problem one has to do this:
Check all the source tables that the dataform project has.
If any of the source tables is based on a Google Drive data, such as Google Sheet, give the service account associated with the dataform project view access to it.
Interestingly, dataform is not able to create table if it does not have access rights to the source of the tables that it reads.
I have an existing PowerBI report that imports data from an SQL Server analytics services database. This is working fine and I can schedule automatic refreshes using the Gateway provided by my organization.
I would now like to add some additional, but rarely changing data, that I only have in a local Excel file. When I do add this data, the report stops refreshing automatically and complains, that it has no gateway to refresh this Excel file.
What I would like is that Power BI is refreshing the data of the SQL Server analytics services database, but just keeps the existing Excel file without updating it. - I will upload an updated version of the PowerBI report if I need to change the data in the Excel file.
Is that possible? I couldn't find out how. I was trying to upload the Excel file to a different dataset to the Power BI service and reference this dataset in my report. Just to find out, that I cannot access a different Power BI dataset and SQL server analysis services database from the same report.
Three things I can think of
Upload the file to onedrive/sharepoint so that it's accessible online (per Dev's answer)
If the data is simple enough, you can add the data directly into PowerBI itself and skip the Excel file entirely.
You can disable the Excel file refresh so that PBI does not try and refresh(and thus access) the local Excel file. (Not sure if this will work)
I had a similar issue I came across. Yes, you can just use Enter Data to add a table, but you can only build something with less than 3000 cells, so you'd have to merge several tables if something was larger than that.
Turning off the report refresh in the suggestion above (#3) still requires a gateway, unfortunately.
I just created a dataflow and plopped the data from my csv there. You'll have to create a connection and refresh it, but you don't need to schedule a refresh there, so no need to create a gateway.
Then just link the dataflow as a source to your .pbix file and setup your gateway to point at the dataflow.
I got the read access on a dataset in bug query. However when I try to connect it in data studio. I get a configuration error.
Tried reconnecting the dataset and even though i can access the dataset if i login in BigQuery.
Any ideas, if I need any special permissions to connect that dataset to from datastudio?
If you get configuration error on any shared dataset make sure you have Viewer Permission. BigQuery Viewer Permission will not work for this.
I am trying to connect and visualise aggregation of metrics from a wildcard table in BigQuery. This is the first time I am connecting a table from this particular Google Cloud project to Data Studio. Prior to this, I have successfully connected and visualised metrics from other BigQuery tables from other Google Cloud projects in Google Data Studio and never encountered this issue. Any ideas? Could this be something to do with project-level permissions for Google Data Studio to access a BigQuery table for the first time?
More details of this instance: the dataset itself seems to be successfully connected into Data Studio so errors were encountered. After adding some charts connected to that data source and aggregating metrics, no other Data Studio error messages were encounterd. Just the words "No data" displayed in the chart. Could this also be a formatting issue in the BigQuery table itself? The BigQuery table in question was created via pandas-gbq in a loop to split the original dataset into individual daily _YYYYMMDD tables. However, this has been done before and never presented a problem.
I have been struggling with the same problem for a while, and eventually I find out that, at least for my case, it is related to the date I add to the suffix (_YYYYMMDD). If I add "today" to the suffix, DataStudio won't recognize it and will display "no data", but if I change it to "yesterday" (a day earlier), it will then display the data correctly. I think it is probably related to the timezones, e.g., "today" here is not yet there in the US, so the system can't show. Hopefully it helps.
I have one Tabular SSAS project & I have deployed it on SQL Server Analysis Service 2012.
Then I have created a BISM connection to that deployed project as in following way.
Then I have created one PowerPivot excel report out of that BISM workbook using its connection string & it is working correctly in Excel.
But when I upload it to the SharePoint, it give me following error while refreshing the Data from BISM workbook.
this error is observed only when I open it on browser i.e. Excel Web Access.
but the same error is not observed when I refresh the report in Microsoft Excel 2013.
why is it giving error on only SharePoint i.e. Excel Services. due to this I am not able to change Slicer's either.
One of the solution I found was to use some Hot Fix of SQL Server. but I haven't tried this. Plz refer the below link Hot Fix for SQl Service Pack 1 Update
Please help!
Thanks in advance.
This refresh should be possible, assuming permissions are set up correctly. You should post ULS logs for the time period of the refresh.
Does this same thing happen if you do a scheduled refresh (and choose refresh now)?
