Power BI for Developers

on YouTube ↗48m

" summary

Shows how to build real-time dashboards by programmatically creating an ecommerce dataset (four columns: timestamp, product, category, country), pinning visuals to a dashboard, and pushing batches of rows via the Power BI REST API — pushes are sub-second, up to 10,000 rows per request, with table limits of 5 million rows and throttling once a table exceeds 250,000 rows. Demonstrates alternative streaming dataset (60-minute window, low-latency line charts), custom visuals built with the TypeScript toolchain, and embedding via Azure Power BI Embedded or the JavaScript SDK.
