Data from Dataverse Choice column
- 4 years ago
Hi ,
On this post I have found an answer some time ago
So you have some older choice fields which are working correctly, but newly created ones don't?
The answer is this one:
This is a by-design scenario as Dataverse store Choice type value in numeric. As a workaround, mapping relationship between on choice type value can be exported via another API call, please try using Power BI Web connector and access source link via below:
https://<environmentName>/api/data/v9.2/EntityDefinitions(LogicalName='<TableName>')/Attributes(LogicalName='<Choice Name>')/Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.PicklistAttributeMetadata?$select=LogicalName&$expand=GlobalOptionSet($select=Options)where environment name = org12345678..api.crm6.dynamics.com
Essentially adding another table with the value/name pairing and joining to the original table. I have about 12 choices so far in my database, so this is painful.
MFelix Sorry I meant the Lookup column. I excel this return the primary column (textfield) and the numeric value from the alternate key. This do not happen in Power BI.
