Turn Off a Refresh Schedule Using XMLA Endpoint?

BrandedSaiyan — Mon, 09 May 2022 22:04:16 GMT

Hello,

I have a user group requesting that we turn on a refresh schedule in the service during quarter end reporting, with a water mark over the report showing the data isn't signed off on yet. Then they want a button on the report for when they are comfortable with the numbers that they can press that will both remove the watermark and turn off the refresh schedule.

Can I accomplish this using a web URL button in combinatation with the XMLA endpoint? We are using premium capacity.

Thank you,

@BrandedSaiyan You could use the REST API/Power BI PowerShell cmdlet.

@Greg_Deckler can I allow the user who is consuming the report call the REST API endpoint through use of a button?

Thank you! We need to register our tenant still to make use of the API.

@BrandedSaiyan What I would recommend would be to use Power Automate to fire off a flow. You can call the REST API or use PowerShell as a task within the flow. You can tie a button to the flow using the Power Automate visual.
