Using cmdlets to change SSAS connection in report
Hello World!
I need a feature which I think isn't available, but I might be wrong.
I want to use the Power BI cmdlets to repoint the datasource to a different database in the SQL Server Analysis Services.
What I want to do is this:
1. Use the cmdlets to import the Power BI reports from the Dev App Workspace to a local temp folder.
2. Repoint the Reports from Dev to Test database.
3. Export the reports to the Test App Workspace.
The resources for points 1 and 3 were available in the forum and I was able to do it. I need point 2 because parameterization is not supported for Live connections. Is Point 2 possible in Powershell? Is there any other way to make this work?
Thanks
