Solved: Calling a DB Stored Procedure from PBI Desktop

RichFlorida · ‎11-08-2021

Hello All,

Does PowerBI Desktop support calling a database Stored Procedure and capturing the returned value(s)?

How about from Report Builder?

The procedure could be an Oracle or SQL procedure.

Please advise!

Yes. Both Power BI and Report Builder can call stored procedures assuming the user has appropriate database permissions to run them.

Sql.Database("LAPTOP-2CM98V85\MSQLSVR", "BikeStores", [Query="EXEC dbo.uspFindProducts 100,1000"])

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
