Connecting to MS Project Custom Fields

Hi, I am currently trying to connect to custom fields within MS Project. I am using the open source content pack available at https://github.com/OfficeDev/Project-Power-BI-Content-Packs to access this data in Power BI Desktop.

 

When I search through fields in Power BI Desktop, I see that the custom fields are not available. I tried to pull these in using OData and my PWA URL, but it didn't seem to work. Can anyone help me pull in custom fields to Power BI Desktop from MS Project Online? Thanks!

I think I was able to resolve this issue based on some Excel documentation on connecting to MS Project. You can use this URL format to connect:
