Just a quick post on an issue I saw a few people run into lately.
Context
I opened a report with a Live connection to a dataset and I was presented with the error below:
We encountered an error while trying to connect.Details: "Looks like we're unable to access the dataset. Please contact the owner of the dataset."
Clicking Edit gets you the following dialogue, which might already give you a clue what's happening,
Solution
The answer here is actually really simple, if you know it! 😆
You have to login to Power BI Desktop with the right account. I was currently logged in with my Powerdobs account, while this was a customer report.
So clicking Edit gave me the datasets in the Powerdobs tenant to connect to, which quickly led me to the conclusion I was logged in with the wrong account.
So to solve this, in the top right corner, click on your name/picture and click Sign in with a different account.
Open the report again and it should connect immediately!
Everyone happy :-)
