Dynamically pass param values of REST endpoints when using Progress DataDirect Autonomous connector

If I am using Progress DataDirect Autonomous REST as a data source in Power BI and wanted to visualise response from REST endpoints.

 

I wanted to understand if it is possibility to dynamically pass values fromPower BI to the parameters of REST endpoint

 

For example,

If my URL looks like below, I want to pass the id_param from Tableau UI when a report is run and the value needs to be replaced in the below URL and response need to be returned

 

  1. "https://dummyjson.com/carts/{id_param}

    Hi Sooriyaa,

     

    Yes, you can pass parameters down to the driver by using a custom SQL query in PowerBI and inserting parameters which will then be filled in based on how you structure your visualization.

     

    I am a solutions engineer at Progress DataDirect and would be happy to demo this functionality to you. You can reach me at aburg @ progress.com

     

    Regards
