DA-100 Labs not working

I cannot begin the Lab08A https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/modules/visuals-power-bi/8-lab

getting the error "Hmm, something went wrong, Retry launching lab"

 

I´ve tryed to do the lab in spanish, in english, with Chrome browser, Microsoft Edge browser and also with Internet Explorer and always get the same error and cannot begin the lab.

 

Then I have tried to do some other labs I did weeks ago and also get the same error but only in some of them.

 

Anybody is getting the same and can help me? 

 

Thanks!

 

 

  • We are getting reports that the labs are working again. Go ahead and keep trying and it should resolve soon. For this challenge, you do need to complete within the virtual environment. There are still 7 days left in the challenge and we are actively monitoring this lab issue to make sure it's working for users.

    The issue is still present for me but this will be useful for sure: https://github.com/MicrosoftLearning/DA-100-Analyzing-Data-with-Power-BI

    In the link above all the labs with their instructions and .pbix files.

      I'm glad I found this thread! Thank you for sharing this!

      I just tried starting the first lab and it won't load on any of my devices. It just says "Please wait while connecting.." then get a popup saying the "the connection to your lab machines appears to have been interrupted". I've been at this for over 30 minutes and have gotten nothing done 😞

    I've had the same issue this week (Mar 14 - 17). Last week I did several labs with no issues. Now it they won't load. I submitted feedback but not sure where else to go to report an issue.

      I had this problem a few days ago, and found a post in which a user said to try and open a Lab from a previous Module, which worked. You'd simply load up whichever current file you needed to work from instead.

      However, today I've attempted to run the Lab in "Create a data-driven story with Power BI reports" - which didn't work.

      So, i attempted to remedy the situation by opening a Lab from a previous Module, and this time it didn't work 😞 None of the previous Labs in prior Modules work.

      What am i suppose to do now Microsoft? I can't complete the course, and i only have a few days left.

      This is so frustrating.

        Charlie_PalYeah same, I am trying to do the certification challenge or whatever to get a free test, and now I am going to be way short on time... I contacted them as well but it will probably be a week before I hear anything.

      I can't help you, I have no solution yet and it´s getting worse, the next labs also give me the same errors.

        My solution is to give up and find a similar dataset instead to practice.

        There are 11 datasets provided by MS/PowerBI https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/sample-datasets, which are helpful and can be downloaded.
