Sharepoint List refresh with additional API custom query. Can't refresh on Report Server

Hi,

 

I'm trying to create a sharepoint page with a List that users can update, and a dasboard that summarises it. The dashboard also includes data regarding version history, which I collect using a API query.

 

So far, so good. All works nicely in desktop.

 

Upload it to Power BI for the sharepoint page, try and refresh or schedule. Get error "The dataset includes a dynamic data source". I assume this is due to the API query into sharepoint to get the version history.

 

  • Searching Power BI community just leads me to Chis Webbs 2016 blog post
  • It's quite old now
  • It's 3rd party API
  • I don't see lots of other people having the issues when search api for sharepoint, which leads me to suspect there's a new functional way of doing it?
  • It seems very bizarre that can't query and refresh from Sharepoint. Is this really still the solution?

 

Edit:

  • Is this even the correct solution to the issue in first place?
  • I'm trying to work out why theirs doesn't then does work compared to mine, and how I edit mine to make it work?
  • Is it because of the parameters on the query that it's not working? I can hardcode the sharepoint path, but can't see how I would edit the query so that the each Items.Id can be passed into it.

Edit2:

The refresh error messsage

Guessing this what it means by dynamic data. Using the custom query to get version history for all items.id
