how can i list Workspace and datasets by workspace

[Anonymous]

hi all, first of all, i am a total beginner (2 days in the learning)

i am looking for a good snippet of powershell script that will present workspaces and datatsets like this.

note, multiple lines for a workspace

Workspace A		workspace A id		Dataset x		dataset x id
Workspace A		workspace A id		Dataset y		dataset y id
Workspace B		workspace B id		Dataset z		dataset z id

i wrote this, but it puts everything on one line

$Workspaces = Get-PowerBIWorkspace -Scope Organization -Include All -Filter "tolower(name) eq 'ci workspace'"
$WorkspacesInfo = $Workspaces | Select-Object -Property Name, Id,
@{n="Datasets";e={$_.Datasets.Name -join ', '}},
@{n="DatasetIds";e={$_.Datasets.Id -join ', '}}
$WorkspacesInfo

i would like the datasets each on their own unique line, along with the workspace they are associated with

thanks in advance

Hi @Anonymous ,

You must be the Power BI Service administrator.

PBI Service admin can use "Admin portal" feature.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please refer to the code.

# Variable to receive the codes of the Power BI workspaces
$Workspace = Get-PowerBIWorkspace -All

# Loop for each workspace and for each dataset, get the data from the column below
$DataSets =
ForEach ($workspace in $Workspace)
    {
    Write-Host $workspace.Name
    ForEach ($dataset in (Get-PowerBIDataset -WorkspaceId $workspace.Id))
        {
        [pscustomobject]@{
            WorkspaceName = $Workspace.Name 
            WorkspaceID = $workspace.Id
            DatasetName = $dataset.Name
            DatasetID = $dataset.Id
            }
        }
    }

# Defines the directory and name of the file to be exported to the CSV file
$Dir = "C:\Users\lionelch\Desktop\Sampledata\MyWorkspace.csv"

# Exports the result to the CSV file in the directory informed above
$DataSets | Export-Csv $Dir -NoTypeInformation -Encoding UTF8

Hi Lionel,

This works for me, but only for workspaces which have datasets in them.

Is it possible to get a list of all workspaces, even though they have no datasets yet?

Thank you in advance!

hi Lionel

could it be because i am running this with -Scope Organization. When running the Get-PowerBIDataset manually i get an error

Get-PowerBIDataset -Scope Organization -WorkspaceId 75036789-685c-40b9-9034-4c4386d8bd1d -Debug

Hi Lionel

thanks for answering my question

It does not appear to be returning records. i modified it like this too, to see on screen output but nothing.

Note, there is valid data in $Workspace, i ran it on its own in isolation and it output fine

$Workspace = Get-PowerBIWorkspace -All -Scope Organization -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Include All `
    -Filter "tolower(state) eq 'active' and tolower(type) ne 'personalgroup' and tolower(name) eq 'hexit'" `
| Select-Object Id, Name, Type, State, Description, IsOrphaned


# Loop for each workspace and for each dataset, get the data from the column below
$DataSets =
ForEach ($workspace in $Workspace)
    {
    Write-Host $workspace.Name
    ForEach ($dataset in (Get-PowerBIDataset -WorkspaceId $workspace.Id))
        {
        [pscustomobject]@{
            WorkspaceName = $Workspace.Name 
            WorkspaceID = $workspace.Id
            DatasetName = $dataset.Name
            DatasetID = $dataset.Id
            }
        }
    }

$DataSets

bear in mind, i am a beginner

cheers
