Problem

Users reported errors when refreshing Power BI reports in Power BI Service with the following message:

Data source error: The 'CapacityReservationId' column does not exist in the rowset.

While the dataset refreshed successfully in Power BI Desktop, it failed in Power BI Service due to missing FOCUS 1.2 specification columns.

Root Cause

The Power BI storage templates were missing two required FOCUS 1.2 columns:

  • CapacityReservationId - Identifier assigned to VM capacity reservations
  • CapacityReservationStatus - Status indicating whether the capacity reservation is "Used" or "Unused"

According to the FOCUS 1.2 specification, these columns must be present when the provider supports capacity reservations. The KQL-based templates already had these columns, but the storage-based templates were missing them.

Solution

Added both columns to the storage-based Power BI templates:

  1. ftk_NormalizeSchema.pq: Added column transformations following FOCUS conversion rules

    • CapacityReservationId: Maps from x_CapacityCommitmentId (extracted from AdditionalInfo.VMCapacityReservationId)
    • CapacityReservationStatus: Returns null when no ID exists, "Unused" for capacity reservation resources, otherwise "Used"
  2. Costs.tmdl: Added column definitions to the Costs table schema for storage-based datasets

The implementation follows the FOCUS conversion guide for mapping Cost Management data to FOCUS format.

Testing

  • ✅ Verified KQL templates already have these columns (no changes needed)
  • ✅ Validated Power Query (M) and TMDL syntax
  • ✅ Confirmed mapping logic aligns with FOCUS 1.2 specification
