Hi @Anonymous ,

 

By my test in the latest version 2.76.5678.782 of Power BI Desktop, the option works well. You may upgrade Power BI Desktop, and try it again.

 

Best Regards,

Hi All,

 

We are encountering the similar issue The Change data source button is disabled in case of Common Data Service connection for Power Apps.

 

Any help would highly be appreciated.


Thanks

Hi 

there are simple step within Power Query to achive this using parameters.

1. Create a new parameter --> cds_environment_connection_urlhttps://<environement>.crm.dynamics.com/

2. Select the query and open "Advance Editor"

3. Use the parameter within the advanced editor to build the connection string, see below example

let

    Source = Cds.Entities(cds_environment_connection_url&"api/data/v9.1/", [ReorderColumns=null, UseFormattedValue=null]),

    entities = Source{[Group="entities"]}[Data],

    systemusers = entities{[EntitySetName="systemusers"]}[Data]

 

Hope this helps

Urs

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You can change the data source via clicking "Change Source" option.

You can also refer to the link: Connect to the Power BI Using Common Data Service (CDS).
