Hello to all,
In my company we want to create a web application and use Powerbi embed to display the dashboard.
Currently the data are in a mysql database and the metrics stored there are in a JSON format.
To my understanding mysql does not support direct query and direct query is needed for updating the data (live or scheduled refresh) with the Powerbi embeded. is there any other way to refresh the data from the mysql?
We have created a sql database and transfered a table of the data there in order to have the direct query. But when i tried to expand the json powerbi desktop says that this step is not supported with the direct query and I should use import. But if use import then I return to the same situation that I have with mysql, correct?
So there is the question, how do set up a scheduled data refresh in mysql or sql when the data are in json format?
thanks a lot, sorry for the long post.
