Change from "http" to "https" in Power BI querry

Hello,

I have several Power BI repports which are published i POwer BI service. Repports get data from a web API. I found that i have to change the website address at Power BI querry from "http//" to "https". I have about 50 repports with more than 2 querries per repport. I wonder if I can change the automaticlly?

Many thanks!

    Hello,

     

    Yes!  Website manager helps to redirect from http to https and I do not need to do anything!

  • Hi HaiVN, this is an excellent example for using dataflows (What are Power BI Dataflows and their Use Cases? - RADACAD). If you already use it, then you ca proceed directly with bhanu_gautam's suggestion.

     

    If data transformation happens independetly in each of your 50 reports, then you'd need to update them one by one. However I'd strongly suggest you to consider dataflows before doing it. It will save you from a similar issue if happens again.

    Hi HaiVN

     

    Thank you very much bhanu_gautam and Sergii24 for your prompt reply. Please allow me to add a few details about dataflows.

     

    Dataflows allows you to centrally manage the data transformation logic, making it easier to apply changes across multiple reports.

     

    In the Power BI service, select your workspace, and create a dataflow by using define new tables.

     

    Connect to your data source.

     

    Use the Dataflow editor (similar to Power Query) to transform and clean the data.

     

    Here, you can replace "http://" with "https://" using the Text.Replace function.

     

    Change the data source of an existing report in power bi desktop to fetch data from Dataflow instead of directly from the original data source.
