Hi Everyone,
I am working on a automated deployment system that deploys PowerBI reports to a new workspace. This is all working fine but the issue i am having is updating the datasource with a new URL to get their information from. These are all SharePoint List data sources that need to be updated.
I am using the Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod to sucessfull get the data sources within a report and I can manipulate the return to change the URL but when sending the update back i just get an error.
No information is given with the error it just doesn't work.
Does anyone have a working example of updatiung a datasource with powershell?
I have seen this thread but it doesn't have a solution
Hi @Anonymous ,
Try to find the error using Resolve-PowerBIError cmdlet or fiddler to capture the API error directly.
Just giving as the reference, to my artilce where you can find the some informations on the powershell scripts
