Refreshing Power BI dataset not finishing

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi everyone, 

 

So my Power BI report have some sources as OneDrive files. I made the credentials with my organizational account and organizational level. Also in Power BI service setted up Oauth2 and privacy level organizational. So I can refresh tehre, in Power BI service, but when I refresh from Power automate, on the flow this step never ends.
Do you know what may be the issue?

Thanks

    Hi @MarioSD ,

     

    A lot of people have had this issue and I will share one common root cause: licensing.  If you have used all your refreshes available in your current license, it is common for your PA flows to never complete your refresh.  That's why you can go to Power BI Service and refresh without fail (those don't count as your refreshes - I am assuming you are doing those manually).  That said, at a minimum, eliminate the licensing issue as a root cause.  It may be the root cause but can't say for sure.

    Hi, thank you for your response.

    I was using a local route for my data, and the flow was working. Then I saw in Power BI Service that is was marking that there was a failure refreshing the dataset, that's how I notice about the route of the data. So I've changed that for the correct sharepoint route, but now I have this refreshing problem on Power Automate.
    I think it failed the first time I tried (I guess the other times does not count cause it was trying to refresh dataset with local sources). Anyway I'll try tomorrow in case it is that, so I should be able to refresh again.
