Github PowerBi connector - JSON error
- 1 year ago
I have resolved the issue writing some power query myself and found a workaround for the dynamic data source issues I had.
For those that are interested, I documented the approach here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/using-power-queries-directly-from-github-repository-van-der-vorst-wm6pe/
Hi, ferryv
Regarding the issue you raised, my solution is as follows:
1.Firstly, regarding your GitHub connector, it is still in the development stage, so there are some issues at present. You may encounter warnings when using the GitHub connection:
2.Secondly, concerning the error you mentioned, “references other queries or steps, so it may not directly access a data source,” you can try merging multiple queries into one. Here is a screenshot of the relevant response:

You can also try ignoring the privacy levels:

3.Lastly, regarding the issue of “removing or ignoring comments and then invoking the step,” you can try creating a notebook in Lakehouse and then use the json.loads() function in Python to parse the JSON data
Of course, if you have any new ideas, you are welcome to contact us.
