Report Creation

Hey guys,

I need to create a report in PowerBI. Is there any possibility to create a report with an existing dataset in PowerBI using REST API?

 

Thanks!

Hi  @Amulya_A ,

You can get datasets through data sources through the REST API, but you can't get existing datasets on Power BI through the Rest API.

How to create a Power BI report using REST API data – SQLServerCentral

You can also go directly to the workspace of the Power BI Service and click New – Report.

Refer to:

Connect to datasets in the Power BI service from Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
