Hi All
Has anyone managed a workaround to this that actually works or know when this will be implemented by MS?
I have seen a few people saying you can do this via excel online using Blank query and =PowerPlatform.Dataflows(null) - I have tried this and just get an error.
Any workarounds or knowledge on when this will be available would be greatly appreciated.
thanks guys 🙂
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
I doubt it is possible to do so. PowerBI.Dataflows(null) is only supported in these products:
| Power BI (Datasets) Power BI (Dataflows) Power Apps (Dataflows) Dynamics 365 Customer Insights (Dataflows) |
Power Query Dataflow connector - Power Query | Microsoft Docs
However, you can try create a dataset in power bi online by connect the dataflow via Power BI Desktop. And then connect the dataset in power bi service by excel online.
