Alteryx Tools Used to Connect
Warning
Microsoft has deprecated the input API for data streaming into Power BI, disrupting workflows for creating new datasets.
Affected users should contact Microsoft Support to request addition to the exception list for their Power BI tenant.
For more information, see the Community article Power BI Connector - How to get added to the exception list.
Important
See Microsoft's Push datasets limitations for limitations and additional details.
Due to Power BI API limitations, Designer can't write DateTime values. Convert the DateTime values to strings before uploading the dataset to Power BI.
Desktop Automation (Scheduler) is not supported by this connector.
Data Connection Manager
Power BI Output version 3.3.0 and later supports Data Connection Manager for an easier and safer storage of your credentials. Create a connection to Power BI and easily reuse the stored credentials in workflows that include Power BI Output. Alteryx Server requires stored credentials to successfully run the published workflows.
Enable AMP Engine
Make sure you have the AMP engine enabled for the workflows that contain the Power BI Output tool version 3.3.0 and later.
