Build 26.0.9669

Miscellaneous

This section provides a complete list of the Miscellaneous properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.


PropertyDescription
CustomHeadersSpecifies additional HTTP headers to append to the request headers created from other properties, such as ContentType and From. Use this property to customize requests for specialized or nonstandard APIs.
ExposeMemberKeysEnable this property to convert each level into a measure, which is a numeric value that supports calculations like summing, averaging, and other aggregations. By default, levels remain as String types, so they do not support direct calculations.
ExpressionInDescriptionEnable this property to append measure expressions in the descriptions of measure columns. By default, the provider includes only remarks in measure column descriptions.
ExtraPropertiesSpecifies additional properties to include in each MDX request sent to Microsoft Power BI XMLA. Use this property to customize the PropertiesList of the XMLA request.
MaxRowsSpecifies the maximum number of rows returned for queries that do not include either aggregation or GROUP BY.
OtherSpecifies advanced connection properties for specialized scenarios. Use this property only under the guidance of our Support team to address specific issues.
QueryPassthroughThis option passes the query to the Microsoft Power BI XMLA server as is.
ResponseRowLimitSpecifies the maximum number of response rows allowed before triggering an error. Use 0 to remove the limit entirely. This property helps prevent performance issues caused by large queries.
RTKSpecifies the runtime key for licensing the provider. If unset or invalid, the provider defaults to the standard licensing method. This property is only required in environments where the standard licensing method is unsupported or requires a runtime key.
ShowHiddenEntitiesEnable this property to include hidden dimensions, measures, and levels in query results. By default, the provider excludes entities marked as hidden.
SplitMeasuresEnable this property to split the Measures table into individual tables and distribute measures into their respective dimension tables.
SplitMeasuresOnSpecifies the priority for organizing measures into tables when SplitMeasures is enabled. Provide a comma-delimited list of attributes to determine the sorting order.
TimeoutSpecifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error.
UserDefinedViewsSpecifies a filepath to a JSON configuration file that defines custom views. The provider automatically detects and uses the views specified in this file.
WorkspaceSpecifies the Premium Power BI workspace(s) to connect to, using a comma-separated list of workspace names.
