Hi Mohammadshareef,

 

I'd like to suggest you take a look at below article which about create power bi reports with power app common data service:

Create Power BI reports and dashboards with PowerApps Common Data Service

 

Enabling Power BI integration in PowerApps

So how do you start reporting with Power BI? – during preview, you would need to enable Power BI integration feature using the admin portal in PowerApps (admin.PowerApps.com). If your CDS environment happens to be in a region where this feature is enabled, and if you have been selected for the preview, you will see an option to enable the feature. You need to enable the feature only once per database.

This feature will be available initially for selected customers (or databases, more accurately) based in USA. If your database is located in the USA, you will see the option within the next few weeks. It will be rolled out to other regions soon. Can’t wait that long?, If you like to participate in the preview program and get access to the connector, please e-mail CDSPowerBIPreview(at)Service.Microsoft.com.

Click the button to enable the feature and you are ready to go.

In addition, you can also check with your environment and license.

    Hi Mohammadshareef,

     

    It seems like the license issue, have you ask your administrator to check the environment setting?

    In addition, can you ensure you have use the newest version of power bi desktop? It may cause the issue.

    Launch Power BI desktop (November update or later, preferably February update)

      Hello  @Mohammadshareef,

      Were you able to find the resolution to this issue?  I have a similar issue as well where I can not see the enable button as per the instructions.  I created my own test database where I am the admin but I have not been able to connect to Power BI.  PBI sees the environment but will not complete the connection to the database.  

      Thanks.

        Hello,

        Same issue here.

        What do you mean by licence issue ?

        I have not any "enable" button available in PowerApps.

        I've downloaded today (June 14th) the last PowerBi Desktop. The connector is still in bêta version.

        Thanks
