Hi All!
I have a really frustrating issue I cannot solve. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have created a dataset, which gains data from several API endpoints. In Desktop, refreshing works fine!
After I publish the dataset to the service, I set the correct authentication method in the BI service, after the first scheduled refresh my refreshed dataset becomes corrupted, thus, my visualizations fail to show the correct data.
I think, I found the issue which might cause the problem, but I cannot find any workarund solution.
The problem:
1. I created a function which calls data from my API endpont (1). I used the function, because I need to call the data by pages.
let Query = (page as text) =>
let
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://xxxxxxx/yyyyyyy/zzzzzzz/qqq/positions", [RelativePath = "?page="& page &"&per_page=100&status=publish,draft,pending"]))
in
Source
in Query
As I called the function above, I got a table of different positions, which has an ID column.
2. Based on the ID column of the above mentioned result table, I call another function (see below) and I add the result to a new column.
let Query = (parent as text) =>
let
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://xxxxxxxxx/yyyyyyyyy/zzzz/qqqqq/poziciok", [RelativePath = "/"& parent ]))
in
Source
in Query
If I call these functions in the Desktop I get all the positions I need, and all the parent records, which are connected to my initial table.
But if I download my dataset from the Power bi service after the first refresh, it seems that some of my parent records are missing without returning any error message on refresh.
If I click refresh in the desktop, the missing parent data are showing up again.
Any thoughts on this issue? Could the problem be caused by calling technically the same endpoints in the functions? I double-checked, my dataset settings and authentication data are correct both in the destkop and in the service as well.
Thanks in advance!
