Historically keeping the data by date

Hi all,

 

I have an employee dataset to which I connect through API to our HR database.

 

The dataset is like the following:

 

NameDepartmentJob Title
Joh DoeAlfa teamSpecialist
Jane DoeBeta teamJunior Specialist

 

I want to store this data by date so that I can analyse the historical headcount changes etc.

 

I created a dimdate report but I am not able to create the required connection.

 

Can you please support me on this?

 

Thanks,

Ugur

HI @Anonymous,

 

Nope, power bi not support cache history data, you need to export these records to external datasource then use power bi to get data.
