Dataverse Connection
Hi Ldomal ,
Based on your question, here is a little bit of advice and some suggestions:
1. Check Dataverse environment permissions
Ensure that your user account has permissions to access the Dataverse environment and associated tables.
Check the security roles in Dataverse to ensure that the roles assigned to you have sufficient permissions.
2. Verify Power BI Desktop compatibility
Ensure that you are using the latest version of Power BI Desktop; older versions may not fully support Dataverse connections.
If you have enabled the preview feature in Dataverse, make sure that it is supported in Power BI Desktop.
3. Testing Connections with SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
Because TDS is based on SQL, you can use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to test a connection to a Dataverse environment:
Use the following connection settings:
Server name: yourenvironment.crm.dynamics.com,5558
Authentication: OAuth or Active Directory - Integrated
4. Check the firewall and network configuration
Ensure that your device can connect to the Dataverse environment through port 5558 (the port used by the TDS endpoint).
Check the firewall rules or network security configuration to ensure that connections are not blocked.
5. Using Dataflows as a temporary alternative
Now that Dataflows Gen1 is working properly, you can temporarily load Dataverse data into Power BI through it until the Desktop connectivity issue is resolved.
6. Enable Audit or Diagnostic Logging
Enable diagnostic logging in Power BI Desktop for more detailed error information.
Check connection attempts in Dataverse's logs to identify configuration errors or authentication issues.
Hope it helps!
