Howdy all, I'm a very novice user to be honest. We am starting to build some tools and have had sucess creating a public report page showing current week events from a shared event calendar in our O365 environment. I have that linked to a window on some digital signage in our warehouse. The next report would come from a iCalendar link outputted by one of software platforms we use for scheduling. When I place the data (web) in my query and double click to open, I get a single column with roughly 17,000 rows. It is breaking out every single piece of info into a specifc row. Each event starts with a BEGIN:VEVENT row and ends with a END:VEVENT row. The info (that resides between those markers) that I'd like to pull out would be DESCRIPTION, DTSTART, DTEND, LOCATION, and SUMMARY. Each of these would be a column that I could map to the fields from the cool little Calendar Visual from MAQ that I am using for the shared calendar report. This would want to re-run a few times a day (unless is too data heavy) as schedules are constantly being updated. Do I need to double step through Power Automate? Thought, prayers? Thanks in advance!
I have found a great little piece of code on GitGub that looks to be exactly what I need. Its called iCalendarConnector. I know the calendar information is getting to BI, I just need it to be formatted so that I can map those columns to visuals on the dashboard. I cant seem to figure out how to get this code that I paste from GitHub into the advanced editor to reference the web data.
@Mazuroo , if you are able to read data in power bi without power automate then you can refresh schedules to get new data

With Power Automate, if needed
