Hi Mathan,

 

For create dataset and push records part, it is possible to develop without power bi desktop.(programming language or other tools who can send/receive httprequests will suitable for these operations)

 

Logic:

1. Check dataset, create it if not exist.

2. Check data table, create it if not contains in above dataset.
3. Get data table records, push data if no records include.

4. Get data from specific tables.(operate at power bi desktop side)

 

Reference links:

Power BI REST API reference

 

Get Datasets (check dateset, get dateset object)

Create Dataset (create dataset and data table)

Get Tables (check data tables, get data tables)

Add Rows Delete Rows (operate table records)

 

 

Notice:

1. Power br provide c# sample code at official document.
2. You need a group to achieve above operations.

 

Regards,

Xiaoxin Sheng

My assumption is that I need to create a stand alone Web app, right?

 

Let's consider I have a web app for the above scenario

 

1. Will it be listed in the Appsource market place?

2. Does Appsource market place support web app submission?

 

Correct me if I am wrong

    I need to build something similar to Salesforce Reports app in the Get Data -> Services -> Salesforce Reports app and just create a dataset alone

     

     

    My questions are as follows:

     

    1. In the above page it shows list of reports fetched from Salesforce, where should I need to start developing this page where should I start developing?

     

    2. Where I can view the source code for this?

    3. Any documentation available for this?

      Hi Mathan,

       

      >>My assumption is that I need to create a stand alone Web app, right?

      Nope, it means you need set up one device to host push data application to push data to power bi service.(client or server application all suitable for these requirement) It not mean publish power bi app.

       

      For how to develop one application, you can post to application develop related forum to get further support.

        I don't get any reply from the developer forum so far.

         

        My question is there was an app called "Salesforce Reports" in the app.powerbi.com, if I click on the link it redirects to an app called "Salesforce"

         

        The id shows like "909545e0-1c5e-44a9-b9db-bae412465c89" for both the apps?

        In the description it says it will have the dashboard but "Salesforce Reports" didn't create any dashboard?
