Dale,

 

Unfortunately, that's what I suspected.

 

Is there an Suggestion Box where we can vote on this issue? If not I might create one.

 

Thanks,

Hi Richard,

 

I found a similar idea here. A workaround come to me is as follows. The step 2 in your first post can't be done for now. 

1. Create a pbix file in the Desktop.

2. Post the pbix file to an App workspace using imports/postimportingroup.

3. Update the data source using datasets/updatedatasourcesingroup.

4. Trigger a refresh of the dataset using datasets/refreshdatasetingroup.

You may give it a try.

 

Best Regards,

Dale
