When i load the Excel sheet as data source in Power BI designer i do not see any Data Load Settings ("load to worksheet" & "Load to Datamodel") in the right hand side menu called "Query Settings".
Failing which I can not define any datamodel for my imported data from excel.
What am i doing wrong?
In Power BI Designer, unlike in Excel, all the data you load using the Query UI is automatically added to the data model. To create relationships in the data model you can find the Relationships button on the ribbon when you are in the Reports UI.
Appreciate your using Power BI,

Connect your PowerBI dataset having excel data to power Apps(PowerApps visual),powerapps automatically creates a user editable form with available columns or you can create a form according to your requirement which you can access from power bi through powerapps visual.
Newbie here. How do I limit the amount of data imported to Power BI? For example, I have a total row count of 1,156,135, but i only want to load the last 90 days is there an easy way of doing this?
With Power BI, you can edit the query to pre-filter the data.
On the ribbon, click Transform Data to open the Power Query Editor. The Power Query Editor will show you a sample of the data (not all of it). Then either you can set up your filters and Power BI will build the query for you, or you can use the Advanced Editor to write/edit your own query.
Click "Close & Apply" to close the Power Query Editor and load the data.
We have designed the report which has Pie and bars chart would need to download the entire report as an excel with the Chart representation.
Currently, the report is embedded in the SharePoint page. Would need to download the report from the embedded page, using a Download button.
DataSoruce: SharePoint list.
Report embedded in SharePoint Page.
Is there any way we can download the entire power bi report as excel?
There is no export Report to Excel for standard Power BI reports.
With standard Power BI you cannot export the report as Excel, just PDF and PowerPoint. You can use Analyse in Excel to connect to the data model in the service, but you will have to recreate the visuals from the pivot table.
You can Export to Excel with Power BI Paginated Reports, but you'll need Premium, Premium Per User or Power BI Report Server to use this type of report. You'll be able to export in HTML, MHTML, PDF, XML, CSV, TIFF, Word and Excel.
If the report is embedded into an object like SharePoint you may be able to add an object that calls the API. This will be dependant on the license type you have to access the API, Power BI Embedded EM SKU etc.
This will still result in the same export types for Power BI, PDF and PPTX, but also comes with and image file (PNG as default) and Power BI Premium/Per User options outlined above.
I've created a powerbi push dataset using the api. I can build reports based on this but I'm struggling with something very simple.
How do I see my data?
On the web app I can choose analyze in excel but excel gives me an error
Within the powerbi desktop I cant find an option for this either. Does anyone know where to find this? Could it be a permissions issue? If so where do i find the option to turn this on.
Thanks.
When you create a report on a Push dataset, there are no Data and Relationships sections to the left in Power BI Desktop. But you can place a visual (e.g. table), right click it and select "Show Data":
This will show you the underlying data in tabular format in Power BI Desktop, but if you want, you can export it to file and open it in Excel. Just click the ellipsis in the top right corner and select "Export data":
You can also connect Excel directly to your Push dataset in Power BI Service. To do this you will need to install Power BI publisher for Excel and from "Power BI" tab select "Connect to Data":
I am Using PowerBI Desktop Direct Query on SQL database
When the data is loaded into PowerBI Desktop I can see that there are certain fields missing from the table. When I view in SQL Server Manager Studio I can see the entire table.
Is there a known reason why all fields in the table would not be returned?
Check in the Query Editor window (hit Edit Queries) - steps can be added to any Query to remove columns, or specify a selected set of columns.
It could also be that the columns were added to the SQL table after the Power BI Query was built. For that scenario you just need to use Refresh Preview in the Query Editor window and they will flow through to the Power BI table.
