How to refresh Dataset on Power BI Services that uses Dynamic Data Sources ?

Hi Friends,

 

I am getting error while refreshing the power bi dataset that uses the dynamic data sources.

 

I googles the issue, found few links like Chris Webb's blog and other too who suggested to use RelativePath or Query parameter, however they have used a simple links. But I am using Web API which contains 3 parameters + 1 subscription key of API. Itried to build the MQuery Code using RelativePath as well as Query parameter but it did not work at all for me. 

We need to pass 3 parameters 1) activitytypeid 2) startdate 3)enddate

activitytypeid I am passing directly but for startdate and enddate I need to calculate dates dynamically and pass to API.

 

Your help really appreciated...!!

 

Below is the code that I am using (I have changed the link and subsciption key as its organizational data) - 

 

let
Source = Json.Document(
Web.Contents(
"https://api.maersk.com/hr/v1/scf-move-termination?activitytypeid=10&startdate="

Hello - have you try moving everything after the question mark to the relative path?

Hi,

 

Yes I tried below codes but didn't work,

 

Web.Contents(
"https://api.maersk.com/hr",
[
RelativePath = "v1/scf-move-termination",
Query = [
activitytypeid = 2
& startdate = #"DynStartDt-60D-BFR-PM-Start-Txt"
& enddate = #"DynEndDt-BFR-PM-End-Txt"
& Headers = [#"Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key" = "9f6792b2fadab2d8cca4f3a5abc76847"]
]
]
)

 

****************************AND****************

 

 Web.Contents(
 "https://api.maersk.com/hr",
[
RelativePath="v1/scf-move-termination",
Query=
[
activitytypeid="2",
startdate=#"DynStartDt-60D-BFR-PM-Start-Txt",
enddate=#"DynEndDt-BFR-PM-End-Txt",
]
]
{
Headers = [#"Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key" = "9f6792b2fadab2d8cca4f3a5abc76847"]
}
)

Hi @Sandipde 

 

startdate=#"DynStartDt-60D-BFR-PM-Start-Txt",
enddate=#"DynEndDt-BFR-PM-End-Txt",

This section may fail the refresh. I guess the parameter values are from two queries in the same report, right? If so, they couldn't return the correct startdate and enddate values before being used.

 

You can open both queries' Advanced editor, add ()=> at the beginning to convert this query into a custom function. Then in the main query, use this function to take place of the query name. Then try refreshing. This may help. 

 

Or you can calculate startdate and enddate dates in the main query directly before the Source step. Then pass them to the Web.Contents() function in Source step. This can ensure the date values are correct and valid before they are used.

 

I hope this would be helpful.

@v-jingzhang,

 

Thanks for your reply and suggestions.

I tried to implement both of yourt suggestions like making them as a function (which is showing error in code) and declaring the startdate and enddate in main code(which works as passing then dynamically, means it's refresing on power BI desktop but not on power bi services.). 

Please let me know if you see any other solutions.
