Hello,
I am using PowerBI Rest API to add row on the dataset that I created using PowerBI Desktop. But I am facing following error
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Net.WebException' occurred in System.dll
Additional information: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.
When I try to add rows into the dataset which has been created by Power BI Rest API itself, I don't get any error and I am able to add rows into it.
Does that mean Power BI Rest API cannot add rows to those dataset which has not been created by REST API?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
I got the same error as yours when trying to add rows via REST to a dataset created in Power BI desktop. That seems a limitation and there's already one idea Push data via API into an existing model, you can vote it up.
I am getting this error as well. I copied the code from the "push data into a dataset" walkthrough and it failed with the error you mentioned in the addsrows section.
