In the previous post I showed how you can Push Data into Power BI Streaming Datasets with C#. That example used dummy data. In this post I’ll show how to push performance counter data into a Power BI Streaming Dataset as a real world example. This scenario allows for monitoring a computer or application in near real time in the browser. I won’t go through the steps of creating a Power BI Streaming Dataset....
This post will demonstrate how to push data into Power BI Streaming Datasets with C#. For demo purposes I normally use LINQPad to run the code, but you could also create a .Net or .Net Core console application. LINQPad is an excellent, lightweight scratchpad for C# and other .Net languages. Power BI Streaming Datasets are a very cool feature because dashboard tiles that use them update in real time. You don’t have to refresh the browser window to display new data....
This post shows how to call an Azure Function from Power BI. This scenario offers some interesting possibilities, because it allows for integrating the power of several common programming languages with Power BI and Power Query. If you’re not familiar with Azure Functions, it’s a service that allows you to run small pieces of code without having to deal with a server. In this example, we’ll write a query in Power BI that submits a time zone to an Azure Function....
