Power BI Rest Api Dataset in Power Bi Desktop

Question

I successfully managed to connect a java application to Power BI REST API and managed to create a dataset and added some data.

I can view this data from Power BI web interface, make reports, graph etc.

Is it possible to connect Power BI Desktop to this datasets and create custom reports from there? I'm asking this because the desktop application seems to be more complete. You can edit column names, merge tables, etc. all things that are not available in the web application.

Thanks all for the help.

Answer 1

The Power BI Desktop does not support connecting to real-time data sets in the Power BI service at this time.
