Data package using Power Query in Power BI

#DataPackageHelper #DataPackageTable #DataPackageTables

1 ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Hi @Anonymous,

 

We've done a bug fix release this morning which includes a fix for an issue that would have affected your use of the mentioned data packages. We've also provided a workaround for a known bug which we are working with the Power BI support team to resolve.

 

Please follow the setup steps to get the latest versions of the functions into a Power BI file. Once this has been done, you can use the following Power Query expressions to create two new queries: one for the Air Quality data package and another for the Pharmaceutical Drug Spending by countries data package:

 

A query that returns data from the 'monthly-averages' resource/data file in the Air Quality data package:

 

let
    data = DataPackageTable("https://datahub.io/core/london-air-quality", null, "monthly-averages")
in
    data

 

 

A query that returns data from the 'data' resource/data file in the Pharmaceutical Drug Spending by countries data package:

 

let
    data = DataPackageTable("https://datahub.io/core/pharmaceutical-drug-spending", null, "data")
in
    data

 

 

Hope this helps.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Could you please make it more clear what the Data Package it is? I suppose you mean the service-dataflows-overview. So what kind of code would you like?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

It seems the package has some issue in the latest version of Desktop. It can't work even in the official demo. When the issue is fixed, we could retrieve the data using the URL like below. Please refer to the snapshot below.
