Hello everyone, I'm trying to understand if REST api are what I need.
I created a dataset in Power BI Desktop from an Excel source, and I created a few hierarchies on it, including the date hierarchy.
There is only one measure.
The point is: I successfully ran executeQueries on this dataset, however I would like to be able to pass the API a hierarchy and a measure, the same way I would do when I drag hierarchies and measures to a chart.
Also, I would expect to get the results based on the hierarchy and the measure passed.
Solved! Go to Solution.
