I know this question has been asked, but I was wondering if the community here could possibly give me an alternative solution. My original hopes were to create a C# application that would connect to two different datasets. Where I could filter the data from table from a dataset and push that data into another dataset. However, according to this post back in Sept 2017, it seems this may not be possible: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Developer/Get-data-using-REST-API/m-p/122055#M4200
Here is my problem. At our company we have been set up with SalesForce, and I can connect to SalesForce quite easily with PowerBI Desktop/Service. Here is my problem:
I am trying to capture, on a daily basis, a certain number of items in my SalesForce objects that have a certain Flag associated with it. So essentially I am after two things:
Date Number of Tickets In Progress
I can easily set up a basic PBI visual to give me this information, but the problem is that all the objects are dynamic and changes as people throughout our company 'sync' everyday. So the "Number of Tickets In Progress" changes on a daily basis. My objective is to be able to track the "Number of Tickets In Progress" as the days go on. Because the objects are dynamic and always changing, my solution was to create a snapshot, programatically, by using REST API to essential grab the date and the number of tickets in progress, and push that data into a dataset.
I am not sure if effort has been made to change the functionality of REST API to extract data from datasets, but if not, I would be eternally grateful if someone could help me out with this. I'll try to provide as much extra information should you ask for it.
Thanks.
