Weather with icons in Power BI Report.

Hello Community,

 

I am trying to create a Power BI Report which has a little Weather section that should show Today's Weather and Tomorrow's Weather for 3 selected suburbs including Melbourne, Australia as shown in the first attachment. We want this on Reports and not Dashboard tiles so embedding href is not an option.

I have checked Australia's official Weather Website (http://www.bom.gov.au/) and luckily API Endpoint and API Portal are listed on it as per the second screenshot (API Endpoint http://www.bom.gov.au/fwo/ and API Portal / Home Page http://www.bom.gov.au/catalogue/data-feeds.shtml at https://www.programmableweb.com/api/australian-bureau-meteorology)

 

I tried to Get data by using the above links in Web and the tables are coming as the next 5 screenshots.

 

However, I was thinking there would be a straight forward method to embed City or Suburb Weathers pulling in the icons if it's Cloudy, Sunny, etc, automatically.

 

Can anyone please let me know how should I achieve this?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Kind regards,

Bhoga

    How did you manage to get the weather into your dashboard? I tried using 'Web' and the links you posted and can't get it to work.

      Hi Anonymous 

      Sorry for the delay in reply.

      It's been pretty straight forward for me. I used 'Web' in Get data and landed up in the Weather. Attached are the screenshots for your reference.

      Let me know how you go...

      Note: Please assign points if this helps.

      Kind regards,

    I've been playing around with how to feed weather data into Power BI and realised there is no need to duplicate a webpage resource ... can just go to the webpage any time. All we really need is the particular data that could be useful in an analysis.
