If the import to Speckle.GetByUrl does not match any exports, a module reference may be missing

i been worked well with power Bi, but i can´t actualize my data frome speackle.
Power Bi show me this mesage

“If the import to Speckle.GetByUrl does not match any exports, a module reference may be missing.”

Somebody have any idea?

Hi @Josue_Correa_Montes ,

This is a first. I’ve never seen this issue reported. To better help you, can you provide the following:

  • Are you using Power BI desktop or Power BI service?
  • If you are using Power BI desktop, can you share which version you are using? If you are not using the latest version, i suggest updating it.

I also did a quick search and found the following thread: Expression.Error: The import [custom function] mat… - Microsoft Fabric Community. This seems like a Power BI bug and there are 2 workarounds to get around it:

Note that I can work around the problem by doing this:

On computer B (the one showing the problem), go to advanced editor and rename the function to XmartApiOData.Feed. This results in an error since the function is not known.
Then open advanced editor again and rename the function back to SmartApiOData.Feed. This fixes the issue and the data refreshes.

The fix for second bug will be released with Power BI desktop February version. With this fix, you should be able to fix the query by simply refreshing it.

I also found Autodesk Assemble for Power BI had a similar issue. It may be the same error:
“Expression.Error: The import Assemble_Connect.Contents matches no exports. Did you miss a module reference?” error when connecting Assemble Power BI

Causes:

  • The required folder for the add-in was misspelled or in the wrong location.
  • This can happen through a wrong initial setup, but also after installing an update for PowerBI or OneDrive.

If OneDrive is not installed on the machine, make sure to use the following folder structure:

  1. Make sure the folder Microsoft Power BI Desktop exists under *c:\Users\Username\Documents*
  2. Within this folder create a new folder named “Custom Connectors”.
  3. Copy the MEZ files downloaded from the Assemble+Power BI section of the Assemble Ressources page to this “Custom Connectors” folder.

If OneDrive is installed and syncing all your folders, the Power BI Desktop folder will need to be created in the OneDrive Documents folder:

  1. Make sure the folder Microsoft Power BI Desktop exists under C:\Users\username\OneDrive\Documents.
  2. Within this folder create a new folder named “Custom Connectors”.
  3. Copy the MEZ files downloaded from the Assemble+Power BI section of the Assemble Ressources page to this “Custom Connectors” folder.

When Power BI is installed through the Microsoft app store, use the following path:

  • Use the folder name “Power BI Desktop” instead of “Microsoft Power BI Desktop” (C:\Users<username>\Documents\Power BI Desktop respectively C:\Users<username>\OneDrive\ Documents\Power BI Desktop)
