Goals API - how to connect goal with reports?

[LuigiIaderosa]

Hi everyone, 

as the subjects states, I would like to have some help regarding the Goals API. 

More in the detail, I find myself incapable of creating a Goal connected to a report via API. 

I can't specify, in any of the goal-related apis, the report and the measurement I want to monitor. I can do such an operation from the PowerBI Service panel, but I can't find a proper parameter . What's worse, I can't find any tutorial on the subject, just the docs. 

Is there anyone that could help me ?

Hi @LuigiIaderosa,

It sounds like you want to connect to the dataset to get accurate properties and calculation fields that REST API  does not support.

For this scenario, I'd like to suggest you try to use the XMLA endpoint which can be accessed to the datasets for further management or try to use power automate with conditions to trace the dataset status.
