    Hi Cesar,

    That param is looking for the Object ID, not the text name.

    Is there a function to lookup the object ID that you can replace your @variables function with?

    If you want to test this, export a Dataflow as .json, the Dataflow ID is the second parameter in the metadata (header)

    then pass this ID as the parameter.

    If you can find a function to look this up dynamically. I can see code in the forum but it's a bit untidy.

Hi richardrann,

 

Thanks for your reply.


I am using the dataflowId I got from the JSON file and then using this value to start DataFlow Gen2 from Foreach.

 

Ideally, it could be that the ID could be obtained from the name. Do you know if there is a function that does this?

 

Thank you

    Hi richarddrann,

    you link refers to Power BI dataflow. I think it's not suitable for Fabric.
