Desktop Issues

Hi all 🙂 

 

So I am quite new to PBI and have the desktop app which I have signed in to. I am currently attempting to connect to dataverse through PBI desktop however, with little success. 

 

The issues I am facing, if if i click get data > dataverse this does nothing at all  (almost like a dead link). If i use CDS Legacy, and try to log in with my organisational details, I get an error invalid token. The weird thing is although I am signed in to PBI when I use CDS it states im not logged in.

In addition if i try to use Dynamics 365 Dataverse Connector I get this error

My query is how can i resolve this, I have watched numerous youtube videos and following MS Learn for setting up PBI  but still Im having no luck. I have spent a full day trying to get this working, any assistance or insight you can provide, will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you

I have resolved this issue. After further tinkering, I discovered I could make a datamart connection in the online service, which then allowed me to sync up through desktop.

I almost forgot, I have also used power query and telnet to check ports and both connect correctly with no issues. There are also no data source permissions (current file or global) to remove either. This is literally a new set up for power BI running on the 60 day trial
