Could you please help us resolve the issue, as we are getting the data in web by running the URL but getting this error while connecting from Power BI.

Hi Rohit,

Thank you for your reply.

I have tried all the options mentioned above,

  1. Check URL Format – Ensure it's a valid OData v4 service. Open it in a browser and verify it returns JSON/XML metadata: It is returning data of the DS analytic model
  2. Authentication – Use Organizational Account or Basic Auth in Power BI : Basic we can log in with DS credentials but for organizational account getting the below warning

3. Connection Mode – In Get Data → OData Feed, test both Anonymous and Organizational authentication. : getting the same error

4. Test Endpoint – Append ?$format=json or ?$metadata to the URL in a browser to verify OData support. : getting the same error after appending

5. Whitelist Power BI IPs – Ensure SAP Datasphere allows connections from Power BI:

Added the IP of the power BI system in Datasphere IP allow list, still got the same error.
