Hi TCavins ,

 

As far as I know, Datasource Name should be in -Name part. It should look like-Name DatasoureName.

 

Get-PowerBIDatasource
   -Dataset <Dataset>
   [-WorkspaceId <Guid>]
   -Name <String>
   [-Scope <PowerBIUserScope>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

 

For reference: Get-PowerBIDatasource

 

Best Regards,

Thanks. I'm trying to return the dataset name or the source name of the dataset. From my understanding, the -Name is used for when you know the name and want to return records with a datasource of that name.

 

I don't know the names and we are trying to programmatically return all reports with their datasets/sources that are used in them so we can analyze it from there.
