Persisting data while using API as a data source
Hello Gurus,
I am trying to connect to a API for ingesting data onto PowerBI.
The connection behaves correctly using the web connector. However, I have a problem with persisting the data between refresh.
So my API refreshes every 60 seconds and returns last 1 minute data.
Upon successful connection, I am being able to see last 1 minute data populated in the table.
But, next minute when the API refreshes, the data is entirely replaced and no appended.
Is there a way to persist the old data while with every API refresh, the new set of rows will add to the data .
Is there a way of doing the above directly on Power BI
Kindly Help.
Thank you very much for your time.
Regards,
Dev
Hi Numer8
I'm afraid it is impossible to store historical data when refresh.
