Getting the right data

Hello,

 

I have to admit, I am quite a newbie on PowerBI. Currently I have this challenge: 

I would like to create an overview/dashboards of several data fields of construction projects. I can get my data using Web and the API/GET protocol.

 

The problem is that I can get the data I am looking for only one project. For example using this GET request:

https://api.cobee.nl/api/project/#project_id/

So I need to enter a specific project ID and then I get the information I am looking for. But that is just for one project. I need these data fields for ALL projects for my dashboard.

 

A GET request for all project exists:

https://api.cobee.nl/api/projects/

 ...but gives me only low level information, nothing in detail.

 

So how can I combine the high level project information for all projects? Or is this something the creator of the service has to provide?

The basic principle as I recall is to perform all the steps needed to get the details for a single project, including all the transformations, and then turn that into a custom function. In a new query you can then get the list of projects and loop through that calling your custom function for each entry. There's a YouTube available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCTXMUuH3gk
