Data Integration Navision(2016) and Power BI

I have a question about methods of connecting Dynamic Nav and Power BI. According to my understand there are two method one using OData feed other using the Dynamics Nav connector in Power BI desktop. What is the difference between these two. Does it perform the same way? Even when we select Dynamics it will be redirected to a pop up which would require an OData URL.

Hello @ayodhya1998 ,

 

As per my understanding of Dynamics NAV that it is on-premises, so you could get that data from SQL connector where you can prepare views with the data needed then import it to Power BI.
