I have an application which records the company man hours of employees and other related details. Because it gets updated everyday or when a new employee is added, it tends to lead to a very large data set. To analyze this data, I'm planning on using Power BI.
The issue that I'm running into is that the REST API is only returning the first 4000 records, but my data set is larger than that.
My idea is to store all the records in a local folder and connect that folder to Power BI. Using the REST API I will just take the records that have been updated and merge/override them with the rows which are there in the folder using Merge functionality in Power BI. (In Power BI we can merge two tables with same schema and remove duplicates automatically)
Can anyone give me some example as how can I achieve this? (as on API for getting only the updated data)
Or is there is any other solution which better fits my problem?
Thanks in advance.
