How to Add Relative path to existing Power Query to enable schedule refresh for Web data sources ?
Hi Community,
I am working on Web data source ( REST API call ) for the first time . I am able to refresh and fetch data using Web.contents() in Power query /Power BI desktop . However, We would like to publish report in Power BI service and enable schedule refresh . I am not able to schedule refresh and it says the below .
This dataset includes a dynamic data source. Since dynamic data sources aren't refreshed in the Power BI service, this dataset won't be refreshed. Learn more: https://aka.ms/dynamic-data-sources.

Hi Community,
Based on the suggestion provided, I Included RelativePath and Query in my m query . It still didnt worked . Its strange that there is no function called RelativePath . Also, I have gone through the blog written by Chris Webb related to RelativePath and Query option .It didnt helped .
Please assist.
