Hi There;
I try to impement the power bi solution located there; https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-developer-walkthrough-push-data-register-app-with-azure-ad/ My data resides at the power BI database (or cloud I am not sure about the location). Dataset is created successfully, however, there is a problem in addRowsToDataset function. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

            datasetId = getDatasetId();

            createDataset();

Re: The remote server returned an error: (404) not found error

@tsozgen

The 404 error is because the passed table name is incorrect. CorporationProduct is the dataset name, while in your case, the table name should be product.

addRowsToDataset(datasetId, "CorporationProduct");

You should also use a foreach loop in the getDataSetID function, otherwise when there're already other datasets, you code would go to error as well.
