Hey Everyone,
I have an urgent scenario where I want the following to happen:
a) I authenticate to an API via Power BI and if it returns a success go to step (b)
b) Retrieve data for a unique id from a sql database and display it in a Power BI report
I am thinking I can probably do something like this:
IF (Person has access) then get data
Else Exit and Show a message
End
Is this possible using Power Query? if yes, can someone please give me some code ideas?
Thanks,
Nimish
