The remote server returned an error: (404) not found error in powerBI

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-app-with-azure-ad/ My data resides at the power BI database (or cloud I am not sure about the location). Dataset is created successfully, however, there is a problem in addRowsToDataset function. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

 

class Program
{
    private static string token = string.Empty;

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string datasetId = string.Empty;

        try
        {
            token = getAuthenticationToken();

            datasetId = getDatasetId();

            createDataset();

            addRowsToDataset(datasetId, "CorporationProduct");

            Console.ReadKey();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("An error occured in main function. ");
            Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
        }

    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.

  • 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-app-with-azure-ad/ My data resides at the azure cloud. Dataset is created successfully, however, there is a problem in addRowsToDataset function. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

      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.

        I have almost the same code and I'm trying to follow this guide: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-developer-walkthrough-push-data-register-app-with-azure-ad/
