Is there a good way to do a live streaming survey?

I know you can connect a Power BI report to a OneDrive or Google Sheets survey. Is there a way to do a survey that takes advantage of streaming data sets and shows updates instantaneously?

Hey @eugman,

To take complete advantage of the MS tools, I would look at creating a survey app through PowerApps and using Flow to push data in real time to PBI using the REST api. This is all explained in this webinar here.

Hope this helps,

Alan

Hi @alanhodgson,

I'm assuming this would only work for internal users?

Thanks,

Eugene

The REST API is open to any registered Power BI user, you can retrive data from OneDrive or Google Sheets survey and push data to Power BI Serivice.

Check Push data into a Power BI dashboard.
