I have a customer who has created a dataset with two tables using the PBI desktop. The first table contains device data that will be streamed in on an ongoing basis. The second table contains lat/lon data that will be used as reference data to join with the first table, and only infrequently updated. He now wants to programmatically add data to the first table programmatially using the REST API. This fails with the following error:
{
"error": {
"code": "InvalidRequest",
"message": "Posting rows to this type of dataset is not currently supported. Please create your dataset by posting it through the API following the instructions on http://dev.powerbi.com."
}
Is he hitting an issue with PBI in that it doesn't support writing data using the REST API to datasets created via the PBI Desktop? Is this going to be fixed (and if so, when), or is there a suitable workaround?
Thanks, Robert
