How to change data source dates Dynamically on Month end
- 6 years ago
Hi supriya_13 ,
How about create 2 queries in Power Query Editor, and then use relative path, like:
let CreatedDateTo = Date.EndOfMonth(DateTime.LocalNow()), #"Extracted Date" = Date.From(CreatedDateTo) in #"Extracted Date"let CreatedDateFrom = Date.AddMonths(Date.EndOfMonth(DateTime.LocalNow()),-2), #"Extracted Date" = Date.From(CreatedDateFrom) in #"Extracted Date"Then, change your data source in Advance Editor like this:

Hi supriya_13 ,
Try this:
let CreatedDateFrom = Date.AddMonths(Date.EndOfMonth(DateTime.LocalNow()),-2), #"Extracted Date" = Date.From(CreatedDateFrom), #"FormatDate" = Date.ToText(#"Extracted Date","yyyy-MM-dd") in #"FormatDate"Best Regards,

Hi supriya_13 ,
Oh, I find the cause:
the problem is that the Power BI service wants to validate the URI before it commits to refreshing the data source. Because the URI isn’t static, there is no URI to validate.
Try something like this:
Web.Contents( "http://api.xyz.com", [ Query= [ CreatedDateFrom=CreatedDateFrom, CreatedDateTo=CreatedDateTo ] ] )Reference:

Icey amitchandak Thank you for reply,Solution is nice but I am looking for settings that will run from back end automatically on month end (like schedular ) and no need to open the report, like what we do in normal coding. Something like that to save time (I have a lot of reports which contains 4-5 data source in single report)
