.SYNOPSIS

Launches one of the included dbachecks Power BI dashboards either the original for json files or the new one for database. **You will need refresh* the Power BI dashboard every time to see the new results!

.DESCRIPTION

Launches one of the included dbachecks Power BI dashboards either the original for json files or the new one for database.**You will need refresh* the Power BI dashboard every time to see the new results.

.PARAMETER FromDatabase

A Switch to use to open the database based PowerBi dashboard if you have stored the results in a database with Write-DbcTable. If not chosen it will use the original Power Bi file with a json data source

.PARAMETER Path

The location of the pbix or pbit file if you have moved it or want to use your own. "$script:ModuleRoot\bin\dbachecks.pbix" or "$script:ModuleRoot\bin\dbachecks-FromDatabase.pbit"  by default.

.PARAMETER EnableException

By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.

This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.

Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.

.EXAMPLE

Start-DbcPowerBi -FromDatabase

Launches the Database Power Bi dashboard template, which will prompt for the Instance and database name

.EXAMPLE

Start-DbcPowerBi

Launches the Json PowerBi from "$script:ModuleRoot\bin\dbachecks.pbix" using "C:\windows\Temp\dbachecks\*.json" (generated by Update-DbcPowerBiDataSource) as the datasource.

.EXAMPLE

Start-DbcPowerBi -Path \\nas\projects\dbachecks.pbix

Launches \\nas\projects\dbachecks.pbix using "C:\windows\Temp\dbachecks\*.json" as the datasource
