Hi guys,
I am new to Power BI and is there a way to update the data of existing Power BI report file by python without opening Power BI application.
The reason I am needed for this I am planning to automatically update the file that I got from server to the Power BI report file.
Since I want to update automatically, I want to run the update process from python script which will be set by windows task scheduler.
Thanks in advance.
thz you for your reply.
but what I needed to do is updating pbix report file without opening in power bi application. recently I found out that there is no way to update pbix report file without opening in power bi. so i am thinking another way for this.
You could install the Power BI Client for Jupyter from PyPI and find the open-sourced Python package and associate TypeScript widget on GitHub.
You’ll be able to export data from visuals in a Power BI report to the Jupyter notebook for in-depth data exploration. You can also filter the report for quick analysis or use bookmarks to apply a saved view.
