Smartsheet DataSource Error - Bad Request

Hi Everyone,

I'm facing a problem connecting a Smartsheet report to Power BI.
I've seen this issue mentioned in several forums, but I haven't found a solution. For Smartsheet sheets, there is no problem, but for summary reports, this 'Bad Request' error always appears.

this gives an explanation as to why its not working, apparently this is expected as the api doesn't work for summary reports.

So, there is no solution? 

it is not a power bi issue, it has to the do with api from smartsheet, as per the link i provided there is no api for the summary, maybe best to check in with smartsheets go to the link i provided and contact support, I  do not see any one else who has found a work around in power bi.
