Creating a User Input Form for Power Query inputs

Anonymous — Mon, 05 Apr 2021 12:03:20 GMT

I am working on a custom connector that will have the capability to extract tables/reports into Power BI from a web app.

What I am struggling with is - How can I create a form like page where user can provide an input. Based on the first input(1st user input) I would populate a list of values with a radio button to allow the end user to select one of the values(2nd input). This selection I will further use in my power query to display a set of tables and reports with a checkbox, so that the user can make multiple selections(3rd input) and then extract the report(s) to power BI.

I have created a similar Web Connector in Tableau with Html/CSS/Javascripting but I am not sure if this is possible in Power BI. If Yes, then how?

Any help/link/document would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Anonymous,

Nope, current power bi does not support these. I'd like to suggest you use powerapps visual to achieve the interaction then you can get data from the corresponding data source.

Power Apps visual for Power BI - Power Apps | Microsoft Docs
