Setting up PowerBI email subscription thows an error: "Something went wrong" - powerbi

When I try setting up a subscription to a PowerBI report I get an error "Something went wrong".
I have tried all combinations of options on the subscription, daily, weekly, different times, filling in every field etc but still no joy.
I have raised a support ticket with Microsoft but whilst I wait for a reply, has anyone had this before and solved it?

Turns out Microsoft support is on the ball today, I have an answer.
In PowerBI Service, go to:
Gear Cog -> Settings -> Language and select your language. Turn out the default "Browser Language" setting causes this error to be displayed.
My subscriptions are now set up! :)

Power BI Desktop Pro - proceeding with this change will delete the existing refresh policy because it is no longer valid

I am setting up incremental refresh on a 3.7M row table and when I start the refresh, the following warning eventually comes up for this table: "Proceeding with this change will delete the existing incremental refresh policy because it is no longer valid." I can click Continue and the refresh appears to complete. However, if I refresh again, the same message comes up. Does anyone know why I would be getting this message? As far as I know, there was never an incremental refresh policy before I added in that one. Thanks for your input!
I had the same issue and my solution was to perform a preview refresh in Power Query for the two tables that I had this error with and after that they refreshed as normal. Not sure how/why but I was just glad the issue was sorted.

I'm unable to republish/overwrite an existing dataset in my shared workspace nor can I refresh it

I haven't done any changes in my dataset for a while and in the past few days, the refresh and publish features (via PBI Desktop) were working just fine. However, this morning, it suddenly stopped following through the scheduled/automatic refresh which were set 5x a day every 2 hours starting 8AM. When Itrigger manual refresh, it says "Preparing for refresh" but doesn't really follow through with it, so i kept on clicking it but to no avail. After a while, I checked the Refresh History and the error I got was it's timing out.
I was trying to republish it with a newer version which was the same dataset refreshed in a different workspace. Apparently, when I publish it to a different workspace, or if I rename it and publish it to my existing shared workspace, it works. BUT I don't want to push through with this kind of workaround because I cannot afford to redo my the set up of RLS and manage permission in the dataset of my existing workspace.
Hope you can help me on this. Thanks.
Try signing in to the workspace using a browser, then use the Get Data feature (arrow button at bottom left), then choose Files / Local File and select your PBIX.
It's effectively the same results as a Publish from Power BI Desktop, but sometimes the method above works when Power BI Desktop is jammed up.
You might also have a refresh issue, not a publish issue. There's an unannounced-refresh-on-publish feature that most people don't notice:
"When you republish a dataset published from Power BI Desktop and have a refresh schedule defined, a dataset refresh is started as soon as you republish."

iCloud/CloudKit Dashboard Issues with Telemetry, Logs, Usage Display, Subscriptions, Notifications

Bad things happening on iCloud/Cloudkit Dashboard for my app's container right now. Below is a summary of the issues I am having:
Issue 1: Login to the Cloudkit Dashboard. Select iCloud.com.mycompany.myapp container. Select Production>Telemetry. Error Popup: "Unable to Load Telemetry Data. Please file a Radar and include the current URL"
Issue 2: Select Logs from top Dropdown. Select Historical. Tap Search Logs. Error: "Error Loading Logs. The Logs could not be queried. Please try again later."
Issue 3: Select Usage from top Dropdown. There is absolutely no usage in Monthly or Daily (which is inaccurate)
Issue 4: Select Data from top Dropdown. Select Subscriptions. Hit Fetch Subscriptions button. "There are no subscriptions in this database" displays (which is inaccurate).
Issue 5: Change notifications are not being sent for subscriptions that, when queried for within the app, DO exist.
Are these problems just something that I am experiencing, or are other people having similar issues with iCloud/Cloudkit? Is this related to the new UI? Is there anything I can try to do to debug or fix these issues or is this something that is simply out of my control?
This sounds to me like something unique to your account, or potentially a temporary degradation of service on Apple's part.
I would contact Developer Technical Support and see if they can help.
There is an all new design for the dfashboard. Try it again and see if your issue was the transformation to this new design.

Disable text selection popup on Bigquery UI

Every time I'm composing queries in the BQ UI, if my mouse hovers over a column name after I've typed it in the query editor box it brings up the column name and type in a little window.
Does anyone know how to stop this happening as it's super annoying when trying to edit queries with the stupid popup constantly coming up??
screenshot:
Try using the BigQuery UI within the Google Cloud Platform Console as the query editor doesn't have the column information pop up. Keep in mind that as it's a beta release the popup may be present in future releases and consider its limitations.
I suggest opening a Feature Request about having an option to enable or disable this pop up within the Google Issue Tracker for both BigQuery UIs.

Set Sharepoint task due date based on workflow status

I'm new to SharePoint but most of it seems pretty straight forward but I've hit a problem and haven't been able to find a way around it so far.
I'm trying to set/enforce Service Level Agreements (SLA's) for different departments based on the department the task is assigned to. I was going to do this based on the workflow status that generates the task but am open to any other suggestions.
My workflow for requesting funds for an approved project goes through several stages (Project management validation, Finance Admin validation; Finance manager validation, Fixed assets authorization) and each one has a slightly different SLA. For this reason, I cant just add an arbitrary value to the start date for the calculated column associated to the task.
Any suggestions?
The option I'd go with here is to use If/Then blocks in my workflow code based on the current stage. Something like this:
If Stage = Project Management Validation Then
Set DueDate to Today+5
Else If Stage = Finance Admin Validation Then
Set DueDate to Today+3
etc.
Hope this helps!
