Hi Prasanna -

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

I was able to publish the report and see it on the wen, (app.powerbi.com), and I was also able to access and embed the report in my web app, but I could not change the connection string of the dataset using the API and that's when I get the error. Were you able to get past that error?

 

Thanks, Shilpi

Dear Shilpi,

 

So far I have not seen any one worked on the dynamically changing the data source. I was confident on Power BI API ans MS documentation. but this is not working even for me.

 

What I could able solve is: if the report is designed on "Database 1" and if that database name is passed dynamically the report seems to be working. the moment I change the database to some other say "Database 2" it threw me error.

 

All that I am saying is, dynamically changing data source is not working for me either. I am struggling from past 2 weeks. I have raised one more ticket asking for sample if anyone has worked on similar line. Refer this post:

 

"Power BI API to change Database dynamically"

 

Thanks,

Prasanna V.
