Executive Reports for Microsoft Planner
Hi there, I am new to Power Bi and just recently downloaded the "Executive Reports for Microsoft Planner". I was able to follow the steps from a different post to get the link, however I received an error on the next step:
"Failed to update data source credentials: OData: The given URL neither points to an OData service or a feed:....".
Can somone help me out with this error?
Hi shirleys
That error message means what your URL returned doesn't look like something an OData feed would return. Try checking your results in Postman and maybe a browser to make sure the results actually look right. Sometimes this can happen if Auth in the service isn't configured correctly; we look for HTTP status codes that indicate a lack of Auth, and certain auth headers in the case of OAuth. If the service just sent you directly to a login screen without an error, that would definitely confuse the connector in Power BI.

shirleys - What is the OData link that you are using?
I copied the link in the Address Bar of my Plan in Planner and pasted it in the box that asked for:
"PlannerODataURLThe URL to Planner's data with OData interface: https://<datamart.site.com>/@<tenant_name>/_odata/Planner"
Was the way to get the OData link?

shirleys - Did you replace the portions of the URL in brackets? <>?

Hello Greg_Deckler, shirleys,
I have exactly the same problem. Is there already a solution to this?
Thanks for your answer.
