I am researching whether its possible to extract data from Power BI into another system via Rest API. Internet is full of articles explaining the data ingestion into power bi but not extraction. Anyone knows whether its possible to do the opposite/can point to some helpful articles, would be a great help.
In addition to using the XML/A endpoint, there's a REST API called ExecuteQueries, which you can call from any programming language, Power Automate, or try online.
There is a "connection string" in Power BI online settings that you can use to access dataset data. It can be helpful.
Here is quick example with python

I'm looking for some help designing a better summary report. Right now we publish and send everything (execution% by modules, defects etc) in an excel and I was hoping if we could use that excel data to generate a live dashboard that would be accessible by a URL.
To add, the execution data comes from QTest and defects from JIRA. At this point we are even ok with filling data in excel manually and using that as a source for any reporting tool.
If a free tool is available, even more better.
Any leads, helps, feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,

Sounds like you need Microsoft's Power BI. We've done a lot of reporting from JIRA using this free tool (Desktop). If you need to share it with others "real time", you'll prefer the online experience for about $10/user/month. But if you're looking to stay "free", you can simply share the Power BI file with your stakeholders.
I recommend AGAINST using the already built in JIRA APP. It seems to want to pull back all your issues. Instead, use a REST API Call like this:
https://domain/rest/api/2/search?jql=filter=22605&fields=id,key,summary,description
If you get more issues back than your Issue Search is configured for, the pagination can be a little tricky. Also multiple values in a custom field need special handling.
Or if you're on premise and know your JIRA DB, direct SQL is an efficient way to go.
We use both mechanisms... (REST and SQL). SQL let us add logic in the view of the data that JIRA itself doesn't report on easily. (Parent-Child-subchild relationships and roll up of effort, story points, etc)
The best part of the Power BI solution is you should be able to integrate the data from JIRA and your test tool. (We pull from JIRA and our time tracking system).
I am working on designing a Power BI dashboard and would require some insights on the source of data. My source of financial data comprises of Kyriba, Bloomberg and ClearWater Analytics. However, no API exists for either of these in Power BI. What’s the best way to pull data from these sources into PowerBI? Manual generation of excel always? Need assistance in understanding the best way to automate this process? Thank You!
unfortunately or maybe fortunately these sites are highly secured, so at the moment there is no connector to these companies' data. But I am quite sure that there are some automatic extraction in csv files or even excel files. Once you have these files you can do everything you want in your Power BI.
Maybe you can contact your IT to check if there is any ftp channel possible to automate the import.
Good luck!
I am new to databases, and have some data stored as entities in Google Cloud Datastore. I would like to be able to analyze and plot this data in a web interface, and it seems like Google Data Studio provides an easy-to-use way to do this. However, I'm a bit confused as to how I can actually use the two interfaces together; it seems like either Google Cloud Storage or Google BigQuery could be a middleman in between, but I'm not sure how this might work. Could anyone advise on whether using Google Data Studio would be the best approach to plotting/analyzing data in Google Cloud Datastore, and if so, offer tips on how I could go about this? There are a large number of tutorials but it seems like none that I've found have explained how to load data from the Datastore into a useable file for Data Studio.
Thanks!
As Graham Polley says, the question is answered here. The workaround to connect Cloud Datastore to Google Data Studio is to first export Datastore entities to BigQuery, as explained in this guide.
Then see this in order to connect Data Studio to BigQuery tables.
Finally in this blog post, there's a tutorial for building a dashboard with Google Data Studio and BigQuery.
I want to write a java program where I need to monitor the SAP HANA.
Can someone please let me know is there any client library or Java SDK or REST API is available to get all the metrics data for all monitors provided by SAP HANA?
I did some googling for you but found nothing.
However, I saw it in action somewhere in the system, so in case no one will be able to help you here, you will find an answer on SCN.
As, I had an experience of doing exactly this, I would say that writing the stuff on your own with xsjs will not be a big issue and will not be too different from this tutorial
A lot of the monitoring information can be read from the statistics server tables see docu here.
I'm using Power BI web preview and have SSAS as a data source. When my underlying SSAS tabular data model changes, I don't see my reports or the dataset in Power BI get updated.
Since manually "refreshing" the Power BI data set is not supported as of now, how do I make sure that my Power BI reports are in sync with the latest data?
There's a great blog on the Analysis Service connector here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powerbi/archive/2015/03/11/power-bi-analysis-services-connector-deep-dive.aspx
It includes the top trouble shooting tips. If you're still having problems, please use the "?" at the top of the power bi preview UI to ask for support.

As of now you can use Power BI Gateway, and you will have the option to update cubes on scheduled intervals, or you can live connect as well.
Are you using import or direct query method? If you are using import mode you can set up an schedule refresh for that. If you are using direct query all your data is going to be updated
