Azure devops connection in 2 steps
hi,
my first question on this forum,
I am trying to connect to azure devops across projects. Therefore I am using a wiql query and after expanding the resulting json that results in a table with work item id's. Now I need to call the azure devops api per Id to an unique url including that id to get the work item details, but how do I do that?
thanks in advance,
bennie
Hi BDijkslag
You may have a look at this blog: Querying the Azure DevOps Work Items API directly from Power BI
You can create a query to get data of a single work item first, then convert it into a custom function with the work item id as a parameter.
Work Items - Get Work Item - REST API (Azure DevOps Work Item Tracking)
Once you have a list of all work item ids in a table column, you can invoke above custom function to add a new column to the table. In that column, it will invoke the function on every row with the row work item id.
