Hi Everyone,
I’m running into a frustrating issue with one of my Power BI dashboards that’s connected to an API data source.
The dashboard refreshes perfectly in Power BI Desktop, but once published to the Power BI Service, I can’t get it to refresh there. The option to enter data source credentials is missing, and I’m unable to schedule automatic refreshes as well.
Here’s what I’ve noticed:
Has anyone encountered this problem before? Is there a workaround to enable automatic refresh for API-connected datasets once published?
Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
