We have some questions about the possibility of performing some actions within Power BI:
1. It is possible to create a button that calls a routine/action, such as:
- Fetch data from one or more data sources and import into a Power BI dataset
- Run a python script
2. Is it possible to pass parameters to the action triggered by the button?
3. Can we create a form where we would have a selection component and a button whose action receives as a parameter the value selected in the selection field?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @SoftexTI ,
1. It is possible to create a button that calls a routine/action, such as:
- Fetch data from one or more data sources and import into a Power BI dataset
If you want to get the latest data from your data sources, you can create a button to run a flow (Power Automate).
1. It is possible to create a button that calls a routine/action, such as:
- Run a python script
To my knowledge, it doesn't supported to use a button to run a python script. You can create a Python visual. Or if you want to export something via Python, how about using Python in Power Query Editor? And then it will auto export what you want when dataset is refreshed. You can use above refresh button to manually run this python script.
2. Is it possible to pass parameters to the action triggered by the button?
If you are connecting to M based data sources via Direct Query, you can try to create Dynamic M query parameters in Power BI Desktop. With Dynamic M Query Parameters, model authors can let report viewers to use filters or slicers to set the value(s) for an M Query Parameter.
In other cases, it is not currently supported.
3. Can we create a form where we would have a selection component and a button whose action receives as a parameter the value selected in the selection field?
Please check the above document about Dynamic M Query Parameters.

Icey

@SoftexTI , I think power Automate visual should help. But not sure it can fit in all needed.
