Get data from webservice
I am trying to bring data into my dashboard by accessing a websevice endpoint. It works fine in my mobile report wher i am using a dataset based on an xml data source. After proving URL of that data ...
Do I need to change my data source after it's been created to say Json? By default it says HTML.
But the reason I am not gettng json id because my webservice is not returning pure json?
What is the data type you are expecting from your webservice end point? Is it Json? If so, they Power BI should perfectly support this scenario. Let me know if that's the case and you are still facing issues.
If the data you are expecting is HTML data like a web page, you can refer to the articly linked in one of the replies above on more details on that. You might have to do some parsing and cleaning up in this case.
