ARM template for logic App to PowerBi with API connection - azure

I would like to understand if it possible to automate (or partially automate) the creation of a Logic App connector to Power BI.
basically I would like to automate, as far as it is possible, the connector as described on this tutorial:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-central/retail/tutorial-in-store-analytics-export-data-visualize-insights
Power Bi is using an OAUTH authentication hence I am not sure what is like the correct procedure to automate the full process.
I have been looking those resources but I have not found anything related to PowerBi

Thank you in advance

Power Apps: Using a Form to enter data in DataLake, Data Factory or Synapse?

Its possible to create an App or WebForm App using Power Apps to save and retrieve information from Azure DataLake, Synapse or Data Factory?
Could you give any suggestion about this implementations, please?
I appreciate any help you can share!!
Thanks so much!
There are multiple ways to import and export data into Microsoft Dataverse. You can use dataflows, Power Query, Azure Data Factory, Azure Logic Apps, and Power Automate. See, Importing and exporting data and Import by bringing your own source file
You can configure dataflows to store their data in your organization’s Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account. This article describes the general steps necessary to do so, and provides guidance and best practices along the way.
Although I a starting in power apps, you can checkout for further Create, edit, or configure forms using the form designer
use Dataverse in ADF..
Add source to your forms...

Power BI - Can we load ROLES and their associated DAX filter expressions from some EXCEL File?

Hello,
I got a question about the way we create ROLES in Power BI desktop. The manual ROLES creation process is really hack-tic and time consuming. I want to ask if there is any way to create/load Power BI ROLES with their DAX filter expressions from some EXCEL file ?
for reference i am attaching following img
The only way to create the roles is via the interface at this time. There is no functionality via the API, or by reading the contents/updating inside of the PBIX file (which contains xml, json and other formats).
There is a vote for this functionality on the Power BI Ideas site, and a Power BI Designer API here.

Read SharePoint online lists from Azure Data Factory

I'm trying to read data from a list in the SharePoint online, using Azure Data Factory. It should be possible using OData. I'm struggling to authenticate from ADF.
From Chrome I can access the list data without problems using URL like this:
https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/MyListName
I have account name that can read the list, and its password. I'm struggling with authentication in ADF. I tried basic and windows, with no success. For the others, I do not know what to set...
Short step by step instructions of how to read a SharePoint online list in ADF is highly welcome.
I am in the process of writing out how to do so in a MSDN thread:

Will Power BI connects with Azure search index data?

I would like to use our azure search index as data source for Power BI dashboard/report. Is there any azure search service connector available for power bi like document DB connector ?.
I don't know where the data is stored in the Azure Search? Please suggest me a way for connecting the data with power BI.
Note: Not asking about the Azure Search Traffic Analytics.https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/visualizing-azure-search-data-with-power-bi/
Thanks in Advance!
I understand you are not interested in traffic analytics. I am also assuming that you are not interested in displaying index statistics.
The actual structure of the "inverted index" created using Azure Search is not exposed, so there is no way for you to visualize it in PowerBI.

trigger azure ml experiment from powerbi

I have created an azure ml experiment which fetches data from API and updates it in sql azure database. My power bi report picks data from this database and displays the report. The data from the source is changing frequently. So I need something like a checkbox in power bi which when checked will trigger the azure ml experiment and update the database with latest data.
I know that we can schedule it to run in Rstudio pipeline but we are not thinking of this approach as it is not financially viable.
Thanks in Advance.
You could use a direct query connection from Power BI to your Azure SQL instance. Then the reports in power bi will be always up to date with the latest data you have. Then the only question is when to trigger the ML experiment. If this really needs to be on demand (rather than on a schedule) you could do that in a button in your own App. You could embed the report in your app so that you get an end to end update.
You could have a look at the Azure Data Factory (ADF), that will help you build data pipelines in the cloud.
You can use ADF to read the data from the API (refresh your data), batch-wise-score it in Azure Machine Learning, and push it directly to your Azure SQL making PowerBI always seeing the latest data which will be scored.
Take a look at the following blog where they take data through this kind of pipeline. You just have to change that the data doesn't come from Stream Analytics but from your API.
