<#
.SYNOPSIS
Launches the included dbachecks Power BI dashboard. **You will need refresh* the Power BI dashboard every time to see the new results.
 
.DESCRIPTION
Launches the included dbachecks Power BI dashboard. **You will need refresh* the Power BI dashboard every time to see the new results.
 
.PARAMETER Path
The location of the pbix file. "$script:ModuleRoot\bin\dbachecks.pbix" by default.
 
.PARAMETER DataSource
The location of the json file "C:\windows\Temp\dbachecks\*.json" 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
 
Launches 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
 
.EXAMPLE
Start-DbcPowerBi -Path \\nas\projects\dbachecks.pbix -DataSource "C:\windows\Temp\dbachecks.json"
 
Launches \\nas\projects\dbachecks.pbix using "C:\windows\Temp\dbachecks.json" as the datasource
