Not able to open Model.bim in Visual studio Analysis tabular services 2019

 Hi All,

When it rains it pours :(

When the deadline is next day and when you are close to solution and suddenly your Visual studio file is frozen and then it does not open for hours....

Finally what worked is Import the model in Visual studio instead on opening the existing one 


Puff!!

Not able to delete a page in Power BI File

 Hi All,

I duplicated one page and the for some reason I was not able to delete this page. I stayed with this issue for 2 to 3 months. Later I found the resolution for this.

Fix - Publish it to workspace

1. Pages would be hidden

2. Unhide Page

3. Make the contents of the page which you want to delete empty i,e remove all visuals from it

4. If you want to retain that page then dupliace that page and automatically the option to delete the current page comes up

5. Unhide required pages and then delete the not required Page.

Bingo! Issue is fixed :)

Unexpected error in Power BI Visuals after migrating to production environment

 Hi All,
I moved my Analysis tabular model cube to production and changed the settings in Power BI. No Visuals were working and all gave me same error Unexpected error. When I clicked on Copy message it told me a lot of DirectQuery features disabled.

I spent time in enabling these features but Alas ..this was not the fix. 

The fix turned out to install the latest cumulative update for the SQL server version installed in production.
