Access .pbix file with .NET software
Hi leschi ,
The PBIX file as a collection of files and folders in a compressed zip package. If you need to manually view the contents you can rename the ".pbix" extension to ".zip" to create a .ZIP file and then extract the contents of the file.
Currently there is no such functionality from powerbi to access/modify the pbix file programmatically from dotnet.
If you want you can request this idea in the idea forum
Hi leschi ,
Yes you can achive that using a PowerBI REST API
- Changing the data source- Use Update PBI DataSource API
- Creating Tables: Put Table using Push DataSet API*
*Push datasets API -You can only use this API against the datasets created via REST API. A normal dataset published from PBI desktop doesn't support this.
Hi Jayendran , thanks for your answer.
But I want to change my File which i have stored on my computer not on PowerBI Online.
Do you have another idea?
