RE: Make functions refreshable when the data source is a parameter of the function
I need this. How long for deploy?
RE: Make functions refreshable when the data source is a parameter of the function
This function is really a must have.
What is a value of a report if the content can not be automatically refreshed ?
It's nice that Power BI Desktop support this function, but if in the same time the refresh service does not support it, I can not use the power of this functionnality for my client...

We also need this for the SharePoint.Tables M query, to be able to call specific sharepoint sites dynamically.

I totally agree with this statement: "This is a significant blocker to the realization of the potential of Power BI - bringing data together from anywhere. A huge number of use cases are prevented without this functionality."
RE: Make functions refreshable when the data source is a parameter of the function
I agree this is very frustrating, it seems like a pretty minor piece of functionality. I also can't get my head around why you need a gateway to access data that exists in the public domain?

This would be hugely useful; would love to use the Microsoft Cognitive Services API's. Works great in desktop, useless without scheduled refresh on app.powerbi.com
RE: Make functions refreshable when the data source is a parameter of the function
My case is recursively grabbing pages from an API. Easy enough to do, but can't refresh in the web. I understand the technical concerns about stack overflows and stuff, but this is still a deal breaker for me.
RE: Make functions refreshable when the data source is a parameter of the function
Very annoying this hasn't any update in 2 years....I think is a must have. Any ETA, PowerBI team?
RE: Make functions refreshable when the data source is a parameter of the function
Superb that's working in Desktop.. nevertheless worthless if scheduled refresh cannot handle his. Please Fix..
