Compatibility of Power BI Preview REST Dataset Creation API

gpminsuk — Sat, 06 Aug 2016 06:54:10 GMT

Hi,

Above all, it's so great to see Power BI REST API updates.

So I have a question.

Is this new preview Dataset creation API compatiable with existing APIs?

Especially for "Update an existing table schema", is it supposed to successfully update the schema of table without hurting relationships, measures and additional column options that are exposed in the new Dashboard creation API?

Thanks,

Those APIs will work together. I didn't document it but if you call PUT Table in beta you can also add measures. Unfortunately there is no way to update relationships at the moment.
