Hello every one, I have 4 web csv sources, meaning that i want to refresh my 4 tables, here an example : www.website.com/public/downloaddata?Red=true
www.website.com/public/downloaddata?Red=false
www.website.com/public/downloaddata?Green=true
www.website.com/public/downloaddata?Green=false
In my Desktop version everything is working fine, when refreshing all the sources are refreshed. But in Desktop "Data source setting" and in app.powerbi.com only two of them are used (one red and one green) and false/true depending on which one i have used first. For example
www.website.com/public/downloaddata?Red=true
www.website.com/public/downloaddata?Green=false
Or
www.website.com/public/downloaddata?Red=true
www.website.com/public/downloaddata?Green=true
Or
www.website.com/public/downloaddata?Red=false
www.website.com/public/downloaddata?Green=false
If i publish the updated Desktop version it is working but here the issue is that if i want a automatic refresh only two sources are detected and refreshed. I tried other websites and i always have the same problem : when web source have the same characters in the beggining www.testdatadata.com/notworking/ [here even if there are 100 data basis only one is detected and refreshed in the app.powerbi parameters).
What's wrong ? do you have any solution ?
Thanks !
Hi @Ania_Learn ,
As @lbendlin said, you can try to create four query parameters. The specific steps are like this.

I'm sorry I did an error my sources looks more to this :
www.website.com/public/downloaddataRed?parameter=true
www.website.com/public/downloaddataRed?parameter=false
www.website.com/public/downloaddataGreen?parameter=true
www.website.com/public/downloaddataGreen?parameter=false
I used www.website.com/public/downloaddataRed?
(two times)
and
www.website.com/public/downloaddataGreen?
(also for two tables)
I did what you said i have created two Queries parameters p1 with paremeter = false and p2 with parameter = true.
But in the power bi web site, when i go to my sources it show me only two web connections which are :
www.website.com/public/downloaddataRed?parameter=false
And
www.website.com/public/downloaddataGreen?parameter=false
I can't verify if it will refresh the 4 data basis or only the ones with parameter = false , bacause my data is supposed two refresh once a month.
What do you think ? I'm i supposed to get 4 sources ? or only two of them ?
Your goal is to end up with one connection. Not two, not four. One. Please check the above guidance again.
have tried one more time, set the first url web for each table : www.website.com/public/
I created 4 queries parameters
p1 = downloaddataRed?parameter=false
p2= downloaddataRed?parameter=true
p3 = downloaddataGreen?parameter=false
p4 = downloaddataGreen?parameter= true
I get the right tables but when publishing i still see two web sources www.website.com/public/downloaddataRed?parameter=true and www.website.com/public/downloaddataGreen?parameter= true.
So i think only this ones are refreshed
I dont want it to take into account the "downloaddataGreen?parameter= true " only otherwise i want the 4 sources.
You can try to parameterize your data sources so that they have a common base.
Instead of
www.website.com/public/downloaddata?Red=true
You would use
www.website.com/public/downloaddata, [Query=[Red=true]]
Note: I noticed that recently the web connector on the gateways has become much more intelligent so that this may no longer be needed for internal web URLs.
