Hello all,
I have a PBI real time data set, works like a charm, but Flow only allows to "Add to a dataset", and I need to update data.
I'm using CDS, which works really well for CRUD operations and shows up as a source in Power BI.
Is it possible to have CDS data display as a tile and refresh in real-time like PBI dataset does?
Is there a trick to "update" a record in PBI data set?
Solved! Go to Solution.
HI @VFXPro,
According to your description, you want to update streaming dataset records right?
If this is a case, current streaming dataset api not cache data, so you can't operate previous pushed records.
Real-time streaming in Power BI
Modeling is not possible on a streaming dataset, since the data is not stored permanently. For a push dataset, you can use the update dataset/table REST APIs to add measures and relationships. You can get more information from the Update Table Schema article, and the Dataset properties article.
