Data Extraction from web content

manojk_pbi — Wed, 08 May 2024 16:01:14 GMT

Hi,

I have a use case wherein i am extracting data from OData.Feed. This will return me few data fields using which i will have to construct a web link and extract few more data fields.

In first instance it is working fine and i am connecting using Gateway. For the second part i am getting below error message as the web link is getting created dynamically.

This dataset includes a dynamic data source. Since dynamic data sources aren't refreshed in the Power BI service, this dataset won't be refreshed. Learn more: https://aka.ms/dynamic-data-sources.

Data source for Query1

How can we make it work or is it not possible at all ? The same works fine from desktop.

You need to try and present a static base URL to the Power BI service. Show a sanitized version of the Power Query code.

The workitem ID needs to go into the RelativePath parameter.
