Hi There;
I try to impement the power bi solution located there; https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-developer-walkthrough-push-data-register-a...

Thanks in advance.

Solved! Go to Solution.
The 404 error is because the passed table name is incorrect. CorporationProduct is the dataset name, while in your case, the table name should be product.
addRowsToDataset(datasetId, "CorporationProduct");
You should also use a foreach loop in the getDataSetID function, otherwise when there're already other datasets, you code would go to error as well.
