I've started a paginated report in PowerBI Report Builder and a Semantic Model in Desktop that leverages an On-Prem WebAPI. Transforming and displaying the data seemed pretty straight forward and fit my needs nicely. However, I can't get parameters to drive the URL that's published to the PowerBI Service as a Semantic Model. I need the baseUrl to be different based on env phase (dev, test, ...) along with a date range.
I've tried lots of things. Most recently I installed OnPrem Data Gateway and compiled my M query into a .mez Custom Connector. It worked for the most part, but still fails to propegate the edge parameters that defined the URL to the semantic model.
@lbendlin I am not. I'm publishing from local designers. I'm not sure how that's relevant though. Even if the environment specific URL portion were hard-coded in phased-deployments, I still need the start and end date parameters passed through at request time. That's not happening right now.
Are you using deployment pipelines? They have that parameter switching baked in.
