    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Please check the version of your Power BI Desktop. If it is not the latest version, I suggest you download a the latest from this link.

    If yes, I suggest you to refer to this offical blog.

    To use Power BI with Dataverse, you need the following items:

    • Download and install Power BI Desktop, which is a free application that runs on your local computer. You can download Power BI desktop here.
    • A Power Platform environment with the following privileges:
      • To access data in a table, you must have read privileges to the table.
      • To modify a table in make.powerapps.com, you must have a security role that includes maker privileges, such as system customizer or environment maker.
      • You must have the appropriate Power BI license to build and share Power BI reports.
      • To use the Dataverse connector, the Enable TDS endpoint setting must be enabled in your environment. More information: Manage feature settings

    Note:

    Most proxy servers don’t handle the Tabular Data Stream (TDS) protocol data used by the Dataverse connector for Power BI.

    Also please check your environment and your organization network policy.

    Here is a post with similar issue like yours and I hope it could help you solve your issue.

     

     

    Best Regards,

    Rico Zhou
