Refresh Scheduling

I have a Power Bi Report on desktop that when I press refresh it refreshes fine, but I have to do it mannualy every day. I have tried using the web app and the shedule refresh is disabled and I can`t find a workaroun so it refresches daily.

 

The procees to extraxt the data is to first get the token from a Basic Login (username and paswword) and the output is on json format like this:

{
"Messages": [
{
"Type": "System",
"Level": "Info",
"Message": "Success"
}
],
"Data": {
"SiteId": 1,
"CompanyId": 40,
"TenantCode": "VIV",
"Company": "Vivaaerobus",
"UserId": 10088,
"DisplayName": "vESB Middleware VIV PRD",
"UserName": null,
"Email": "xxx@vesbrim.com",
"Token": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"TokenScheme": "vToken",
"DateValid": "2025-01-30T14:49:07.3656981+00:00"

 

From that Json output I need to extract the Token and on this adress create anothe GET API Call:

 

https://viv.i-soms.com/vesb/api/public/vpos/Report/monthlySalesExt/:DATE

 

and on the Headers include the Authorization: vToken & (token)

The Date is a parameter and should be YYYY-MM-DD
The output is a CSV Report of the oparatin of that day so I need to do this daily.


This is my power query code that works fine only on desktop side:

Function (Login2) :

() =>
let
body = [username="xxxx@vesbrim.com",password="xxxxxxx"],
Source = Web.Contents("https://viv.i-soms.com/vesb/api/ac/sec/account/login",
[

Headers=[#"Content-Type"="application/json"]
]),
// Convierte el contenido JSON de la respuesta
JsonContent = Json.Document(Source),
// Extrae el token del campo 'Token' dentro de 'Data'
Token = JsonContent[Data][Token]
in
Token

 

And then another function called (Monthly):

let

let
// Define the start and end dates
DateStart = Date.From(RangeStart),
DateEnd = Date.From(DateTime.FixedLocalNow()),


// Generate a list of dates between the RangeStart and RangeEnd
dateList = List.Dates(DateStart, Duration.Days(DateEnd - DateStart), #duration(1, 0, 0, 0)),

// Function to retrieve data for a single date
GetDataForDate = (Fecha as date) =>
let
searchText = Date.ToText(Fecha, "yyyy-MM-dd"),

url = "https://viv.i-soms.com/vesb/api/public/vpos/Report/monthlySalesExt/",
csvContent = Web.Contents(url, [Headers=[Authorization="vToken " & Login2()],RelativePath = searchText]),

// Convert the CSV content to a table
csvTable = Csv.Document(csvContent, [Delimiter=",", Columns=53, Encoding=1252, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]),

// Promote the first row to headers
promotedHeaders = Table.PromoteHeaders(csvTable, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),

 

I works fine only on desktop, I have tried a Destop Custom connector and a web one on power automate but I havent been succesfull on both tries, could any one help me I would appreciate it very much..

Looks like your base URL doesn't exist (error 404).  Try with a shorter, valid version of the base URL and put the other stuff into the RelativePath.

Yes, thank you It allowed me to schedule the refresh, but when I refresh online, I get this error:
Data source error: Expression.Error: We cannot apply field access to the type Null.. Microsoft.Data.Mashup.ErrorCode = 10335. Key = FlightScheduleList. ;We cannot apply field access to the type Null.. The exception was raised by the IDbCommand interface. Table: Tabla_Pos.

Just as background, my model pulls out data from 3 API Flight_Pre, Flight_Pos, and the Monthly Sales Extract, and also some historical data on CSV on my One drive and then merges it all into one table called Agregado the size of the Report is 909,794 KB, the size could be the culprit?

Is that a Premium/Fabric workspace or a PPU/Pro workspace?

 

FlightScheduleList is likely empty.

 

I fixed the code so I don't get Null values, but now I get this error:


Data source error: {"error": {"code": "SSAS_ShortMessage_ProcessingError","pbi.error": {"code": "SSAS_ShortMessage_ProcessingError","parameters": {},"details": [],"exceptionCulprit": 1}}} Table: Agregado.

What's the error message when you try to refresh in the service?

On the Semantic model, I get these errors..

Screenshot 2025-01-29 160535.pngScreenshot 2025-01-29 160759.png

Scheduled refresh has been disabled.

Please try again later or contact support. If you contact support, please provide these details.
  • Data source errorScheduled refresh is disabled because at least one data source is missing credentials. To start the refresh again, go to this dataset's settings page and enter credentials for all data sources. Then reactivate scheduled refresh.

I cant update the credentials on that data source because it comes after the retirival of the token on the first API (with Basic Login)

Looks like your base URL doesn't exist (error 404).  Try with a shorter, valid version of the base URL and put the other stuff into the RelativePath.
