    Hi alfBI 

     

    You cannot use the workspace ID in place of the workspace name in Fabric/Power BI XMLA Endpoint URLs. Connections must use the workspace name, which is case-sensitive

     

    you should submit this as a feature request to Microsoft. This is not currently possible, and your scenario is a valid use case for such an enhancement.

Hi alfBI ,

Thanks for raising this in Fabric Community Forum.

The XMLA endpoint for a workspace requires the workspace name in the connection URL and does not support using the workspace ID. The workspace name is case-sensitive and must match exactly, including spaces.

There are no recent updates that change this behavior.

 

Thanks for submitting the idea to the Fabric Ideas portal. Encouraging others to vote will help bring visibility to this request.

Hope it gets more votes so that Microsoft will consider implementing this in future.

 

Hope this helps. Please reach out for further assistance.

Best Regards,
Vinay
