Cannot see dataset in app.powerbi.com

[Anonymous]

I have created a dataset and inserted rows to a table using the REST API, and I can get the dataset using REST API, but for some reason I cannot see the dataset in app.powerbi.com. 

I am currently using a free trial account on app.powerbi.com, does that stop me from seeing my dataset?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Anonymous

Please check the steps to create a dataset and inserted rows to a table using the REST API, did you follow these steps correctlly?

Steps to push data into a dataset

• Step 1: Register an app with Azure AD
• Step 2: Get an authentication access token
• Step 3: Create a dataset in Power BI
• Step 4: Get a dataset to add rows into a Power BI table
• Step 5: Add rows to a Power BI table

Besides a free trial account on app.powerbi.com, do you have a Azure account (or a free Azure trial) to get access to Azure Active Directory?

As sources in power bi stored in Azure Active Directory, if you have no access to it, you will not see any content.

We followed the steps you mentioned but we acquire the token differently using AcquireTokenAsync in an Azure function. Within the Azure function we can create a dataset and add rows to using REST API. We can also get the dataset back using REST, but we just can't see the dataset in app.powerbi.com.

Hi @Anonymous

How about trying the same steps as i provide before? are you unable to get token in this way?

Additionally, from this link, it should be note that:

It is required that any analyst that needs to add reports to a Power BI workspace, any developer that requires use of the REST APIs, any tenant admin that needs to manage the Power BI tenant and capacity will need a Power BI Pro license.
