Hey Everyone, I am 2 days into starting powerbi and have an error I cant seem to work around.
I am using a power automate code to add a new line of data to an excel sheet everytime someone inputs their info
I am then taking that excel data and feeding it into powerbis API to have live data updates in the report.
However, I keep getting an error with the "Build start date" format. I have tried "fromatdatetime" command a couple of ddifferent times to work around it and still no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Of course! Instead of choosing the excel "dynamic content" I replaced it with the sharepoint "dynamic content" icon.
I also changed the powerbi API code from "date" to "text".
