Hi. After a few hours of searching, I'm hopeful that someone can point me in the right direction. I've got a simple PowerShell script that connects to an endpoint and runs a simple DAX query (ex: "EVALUATE (<mytable>)". The command works perfectly fine when the table name doesn't have a space; but it fails when it does:
WORKS: [xml]$resp = Invoke-ASCmd -Query "EVALUATE (<mytable>)" -Server "powerbi://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/myorg" -Database "MyDb" -Verbose
FAILS: [xml]$resp = Invoke-ASCmd -Query "EVALUATE ('<another table>')" -Server "powerbi://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/anotherorg" -Database "AnotherDB" -Verbose
I've tried enclosing the table name in different quoting variations with no success. I've also run the same DAX query (with single quotes around the table name) in PowerBI desktop and everything is fine. PowerShell version didn't impact anything (tried with both 5.1 & 7). It should work; but it just doesn't.
Any guidance from the community would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I inheritied a project from a former employee and was just following their approach. The hope was to use the same approach (which works on tables without spaces); rather than redo the code.
Redo the code. You will see better performance too.
Why Invoke-ASCmd? Why not Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod ?
