PowerBI Load

With this load type, data can be written into existing datasets in Microsoft Power BI. Jedox PowerBI load uses the Power BI REST API and requires a Power BI Connector License and Power BI Connection.

Power BI has deprecated the creation of new "push datasets", meaning this functionality is no longer supported. Jedox Cloud users attempting to load data in "create" mode will now receive an error.

With this deprecation, "create" mode is now incompatible with current Power BI service standards, and attempting to use it could lead to unexpected data loss, especially for on-premises setups.

Users are advised to use "insert" or "update" load modes, which remain supported with existing datasets until 31.10.2027. These modes allow you to modify existing records (but not create new ones) in your Power BI datasets without risking deletion.
