Query from PowerBI as automated refreshed table for use in PowerApp

Hello everybody,

 

i have a combined table in a PowerBI Dataset and am refreshing the Dataset 2 times a day.

I want to use the data from this table in a PowerApp and haven't figured out a good way to use the refreshed data.

 

I tried to use the query in an online excel file but had no option to automatically refresh it.

 

It would be really good if someone has an idea how to do it.

 

Thank you in advance!

 

Daniel

  • You can use a custom connector to run DAX queries against your dataset and consume the result in Power Apps.

      Sadly custom connectors are not allowed in our environment, but thank you 🙂

    Hi Anonymous 

     

    You can create a dataflow in Power Platforms and use it in your PowerApps. You can set scheduled refresh for it. It's like Online Power Query experience. 

     

    Here are some docs for your reference:

    Create and use dataflows in Power Apps - Power Apps | Microsoft Docs

    Create and use dataflows in Microsoft Power Platform - Power Query | Microsoft Docs

     

    Hope this helps.

      Thank you,

       

      I think you are right with that being the solution.

      Sadly i have troubles getting my connections to work with the power query online.

      It simply does not accept my Credentials, this is a bit confusing, might contact my admin....

      Ad of today Dataflows in PowerApps are sadly not allowed in our company. I am still stuck 😞
