Refresh Power BI Dataset using Power Automate
Oh sorry. I forget that the power automate doesn't have all the requests from power bi rest api. You could do two things:
- Run an http request to power bi rest api to get that info like this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/get-refresh-history-in-group
- The alternative would be creating a table inside the dataset that has the datetime of the refresh. A table that has only one column and one value. Something like DateTime.LocalNow(). Once that's in the model. At Automate Create a variable with the datetime before running the refresh. After running the refresh, you can "Run a query against a dataset". Use DAX to get the value of that table of one row and one column. If the date is after the refresh was run, then it has finnished successfully. You might need a break by time know how long the refresh usually last because if it fails, the condition of checking if the date is older than the one in the query will never match.
I hope that helps
Hi,
I don't see "Get refresh history" under the Power BI connector. This is what I see under the Power BI connector:
Thanks
