PowerBI Robots 2.4.11: what’s new?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”mb-adapt-3 mt-adapt-3″]Don’t let this post’s date fool you! PowerBI Robots 2.4.11 is really here, and we swear all the new features and fixes you’ll read about are 100% true.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”mb-adapt-3 mt-adapt-3″]Due to the remote working conditions imposed by the new coronavirus, more people than ever are using PowerBI Robots to keep reporting at a distance, something we highly encourage. This increase in the number of users means more feedback for our team, and more ways to improve PowerBI Robots.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”mb-adapt-3 mt-adapt-3″]While version 2.4.11 doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it sure introduces a lot of corrections and improvements to the overall reporting experience. Keep reading to see what’s new in both the web and desktop agents.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h3″ text_weight=”font-weight-bold”]In the web agent:[/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text el_class=”mb-adapt-3 mt-adapt-3″]

  • There’s a new token for the previous month – #PREVIOUS_MONTH_YEAR#
  • The top-level domain (TLD) of emails in the CC and BCC fields can now have over 3 letters.
  • Improvements when importing/exporting filters using Excel:
    • Error messages now tell you the line where the error is.
    • Fixed an error that prevented users from applying filters to a duplicate report in a playlist.
  • Added the option to ignore changes in a report after a playlist is rendered (e.g., if there was a timer on a report, PowerBI Robots used to wait for it to end to get the print and data timeout).

[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h3″ text_weight=”font-weight-bold”]In the PowerBI Robots desktop agent:[/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text el_class=”mb-adapt-3 mt-adapt-3″]

  • Improved the description of error messages sent to the web execution history.
  • The token for single-digit days and months is now the same as in the web agent (e.g., 3 is now 03).
  • Fixed the rendering error that stopped prints whenever there were PowerApps in the report.
  • New option to automatically select the Gmail and Office 365 SMTP configuration.

  1. I am unable to send reports since the agent disconnects the PBI user automatically.
