Make http requests in power bi report dynamically

Hi!

 

Is it possible to make https requests to an API in DAX? The report runs in import mode but need to make an API call in order to get att seed value that should shown in a url for the user. 

 

I am guessing it is not possible, but I want to check to make sure 🙂

 

Regards

Hi @Anonymous ,

If I understand correctly, you want to know check if it is possible to make https requests to an API in DAX. Based on the information you’ve provided:

1.Unfortunately, DAX is not designed to make http requests or interact with API directly.

 

2.DAX is a formula language used for creating custom calculations in Power BI data models, and it operates within the context of the data model rather than interacting with external services.

 

Looking forward to your replay.

Best Regards,

Wisdom Wu
