Retrieve Data from Measure/Visual (Externally)

Power BI

Is there any way to retrieve data from a visual in the PowerBI service? Basically, passing filters through URL and retrieve the resulting data from one of the visuals.

@Wlknsn,

Yes - here’s an article that explains how to do it:

Thanks - I mean, actually calling it, so returning the info as json for example on demand without physically opening the report in the service.

@Wlknsn,

Based on the information below (and I found no more recent update), unfortunately it appears what you’re asking to do is not currently possible in Power BI.

It seems XMLA endpoints could do what I’m thinking of, but not sure about the mechanics. Got a serious premium capacity tennant at my disposal at a customer so will report back on here if I find anything useful.

I found a way to do this using a powerapp as a visual. Pretty cool stuff.
