Unable to refresh dataset in pbi service for azure devops datasource

Whenever I try to refresh a dataset in service via MS PowerAutomate, I get error - You can't schedule refresh for this dataset because the following data sources currently don't support refresh. My source is simply through Azure DevOps which I suppose is supported in PBI service.

 

ex:

source = OData.Feed(https://org-name.analytics.visualstudio.com/projectname/$filter=.....)

 

The exact query I am using is:

 

source = OData.Feed("https://{org name}.analytics.visualstudio.com/{project name}/_odata/WorkItemSnapshot?$filter=WorkItemType eq %27User Story%27 and DateValue ge 2021-01-14 and Release eq %271.0%27&$select=DateValue, WorkItemId, State, StoryPoints")

 

When I refresh this dataset in PBI service, which was captured and saved in PBI desktop file, I get dynamic dataset not supported error. 

 

Any information on how to schedule automatic refresh in service for this sort of data source is highly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. I do got it resolved myself by using VSTS.Contents method and tweaking my pbix file a little bit. It did not seem to work in first attempt but after modifying pbix file did resolve my problem.

 

Thanks again.
