Hi I am interested in automating my current workflow which looks like this:
I do not have access to the raw data that is uploaded to the publsihed report in step 1.
I feel like there should be a way to pull up this data directly on the PBI that I've got locally, will that be possible?
Or alternatively, is there a way to automate the process of downloading this data?
I am currently using RPA with computer vision to scrape the data but this hasn't worked well as of late.
Thanks
Hey @atr1 ,
you can use this API to request a result from a DAX query: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/execute-queries
Have you considered connecting to the dataset from your local pbix file directly, your requirements looks like it can be solved using the composite model feature: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/desktop-composite-models
Hopefully, this helps to tackle your challenge.
Regards,
Tom
