Hello everyone,
I am trying to put in place a connexion to a REST API using Power Query. The goal is to set it as a perene data source and use it to create a dataset that will underly different reports. I was wondering if there is somewhere an efficient step-by-step procedure to follow in such case.
Thanks for any relevamt information regarding this question.
Regards.
Dany

Hi @Anonymous ,
Does pbit meet your requirement?
- A template file contains only the query definitions, data model and reports, but not the data. So it's very small.
- When opening a pbit file the user can enter parameter values. Then only the data matching these query parameters is loaded.
For more details, please check the online document.
