Error when Visualizing Dataset in Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio

Dana Shields 26

In Azure Machine learning Studio, I have imported a dataset from a locally stored spreadsheet. In the designer, I drag the dataset into the workspace, right click, and select 'Visualize. I get the following error:

"Unable to visualize this dataset. This might be because your data is stored behind a virtual network or your data does not support profile". I've searched for hours for a remedy, but find nothing.

What do I do to fix this error?

@Dana Shields Are you using a datastore that is behind a VNET? Do you see a similar behavior if the default workspace blob store is used?

If, in STudio, I go to Datastores, it indicates that it is set up for Azure Blob Storage. See below.

@Dana Shields Is it possible to share this file so we can check if there is any data issue to visualize? The error indicates that this blob storage is created behind a vnet.

As I mentioned above, I eliminated a data problem by creating a simple 2x2 spreadsheet (attached) to rule out data problems. 33345-testspreadsheet.txt

@Dana Shields I have tried this scenario with my workspace and i was able to replicate the message you have seen. It looks like you are using the Dataset type as File while creating the dataset which is causing the issue. Please register the dataset as Tabular type and then use the dataset in designer. This should show you the preview of the data. Here is a screen shot from my workspace of the designer.
