Make functions refreshable when the data source is a parameter of the function
Like discussed here: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Integrations-with-Files-and/Refreshing-queries-with-functions-doens-t-work/td-p/2450 - queries where data access happens inside a function and where the data source is dependent on parameters to the function should be refreshable.

- h_den-breejenNew MemberThis seems to be an unreasonable limitation.
- matgrishamAdvocate IIThis seems like a no-brainer to capture fully the true power of power bi
- mark40New MemberI call the same data source (URL) over multiple API endpoints, in case the URL needs to change I have each data source reference a single table parameter. I've now discovered this means refresh cannot be scheduled.. Seems like an obvious thing really.. 3 votes!
- Alex_CNew MemberHopefully this can be promoted as a must for scheduled refresh capability
- sqlsashaMicrosoft Employee3 votes! To let Power BI to be a really powerful tool we have to enable this. The situation when some features only work for a desktop client is truly unacceptable
- rajkumar_allepuNew MemberWhen i create a power query report with function to retrieve data from muliple project sites the refresh/schedule option is not working. It should be resolved soon
- 9188040d-6c6395New MemberThis is so needed! I wish I wouldn't of spent a day building out what I thought was a brilliant ETL approach for multiple servers with identical schemas. Please find a way to make this happen.
- aedward1987Regular VisitorI believe this issue is still not fixed as I tried it post May 16 update. It still doesn't allow me to refresh when I use a function. @sdjensen can you confirm if it worked for you and if it how did you approach it ? Cheers, Anthony
- jeremy_houghtonNew Member'@sdjensen: Refreshing of a dataset that contains functions in the power query still doesn't work for me. Everything runs fine using Power BI Desktop but as soon as I publish to the Power BI Portal and try to refresh the data from there I get an error. Below is an example of the power query that I am trying to run. Please excuse the lack of indentation as it seems to get removed after posting the comment. /* Gets the transaction file data as a table by url */ let getTransByFileUrl = (sourceTransFileUrl as text) => let sourceTransWeb = Web.Contents(sourceTransFileUrl) in let sourceTrans = try Csv.Document(sourceTransWeb, null, ",", null, 1252) in if sourceTrans[HasError] then #table(type table [],{}) else let sourceTransWithHeaders = Table.PromoteHeaders(sourceTrans[Value]) in Table.TransformColumnTypes( sourceTransWithHeaders, { {"Account", type text}, {"Account Number", type text}, {"Transaction Date", type date}, {"Transaction Amount", type number}, {"Transaction Description", type text}, {"Transaction Code", type text} } ) in /* Combines all the transaction file data for all source transaction files as a table */ let getTransByTransFiles = (sourceTransFiles as list) => Table.Combine( List.Transform( sourceTransFiles, (sourceTransFile) => getTransByFileUrl(sourceTransFile) ) ) in /* Generates a list of daily transaction file names starting from the specified start date with the specified folder and file name */ let getSourceTransFiles = (startDate, sourceTransFolderUrl, fileNameWithExt) => let dates = List.Dates(startDate, Number.From(DateTime.LocalNow () ) - Number.From(startDate), #duration(1, 0, 0, 0)) in List.Transform( dates, (date) => let fileUrl = sourceTransFolderUrl & Date.ToText(
- GautierFrequent VisitorSame for me, even though the power bi service doesn't report any refresh error (when looking at the refresh history) the result after refreshing is completely different from what I obtain if I refresh the same model on power bi desktop. So I assume that this is still not supported by Power BI service. Is there any plan to let us refresh data models that contain powerquery functions ?
