RE: Make functions refreshable when the data source is a parameter of the function
As much as functions are stressed in the Power BI and Power Query Deep Dive presentations, it is instrumental to allow us to use functions to fully utilize the capabilities of Power BI. I am currently refreshing and republishing the data manually several times a day, which over time, will drive us to search for another solution.
RE: Make functions refreshable when the data source is a parameter of the function
It's very important feature. Anybody knows any workaround to refresh data from online app? In my case I load data from JIRA's API as source. I am using Json.Document(Web.Contents()) but parameters passing to URL from table. It means I generate table with column A with parameter values and then create custom column where data from source stored - Table.AddColumn(#"table", "data", each Json.Document(Web.Contents("" & "?parameter=" & [parameterValue]))).
