Update Oracle database using output from paginated report

Hi,

 

I've been assigned a task to write an update statement to get data from PBI paginated report and update a table in Oracle. Is this possible? Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Hello @Emmy66,

 

Yes, it is possible to achieve this.

 

  1. Export Data from Paginated Report: Paginated reports in Power BI can be exported to various formats, including CSV. You can export the report data to CSV files.

  2. Transform Data if Needed: Once you have the CSV files, you might need to perform any necessary data transformation using Power Query to ensure the data is in the format required for updating the Oracle database table.

  3. Oracle Database Connection: You'll need a way to connect to the Oracle database from a tool that can execute SQL commands. You can use SQL Developer or Power BI Desktop.

  4. Write and Execute UPDATE Statements: In your chosen tool, write the SQL UPDATE statements that use the data from the CSV files to update the Oracle table. Your UPDATE statements will reference the data you exported from the Paginated Report and transformed.

  5. Execute UPDATE Statements: Once you have the UPDATE statements prepared, you can execute them against the Oracle database to update the desired table.

Should you require further details or information, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
