Hello,
I have a problem with connection to Facebook data.
I've followed the instructions:
but still have problems.
I've tried adding /posts?limit=100 but I receive only a part of data that is shown in the tutorial.
(https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-tutorial-facebook-analytics/)
Tutorial:
My file:
I don't have "From" and many other columns. What do I do wrong?
Second question.
This formula /posts?limit=100 is to connect to Posts.
What should I write to get Likes or Comments? /likes?limit=100? /comments?limit=100?
It doesn't work 
This helped fix my connection issue. Note that it's case sensitive. When I used Posts the query failed. But posts worked.
Hi @AnetaK,
Could you please tell me if your problem was resolved? Could you please share the answer or mark the proper answer as solution if it's convenient for you? That will be a help to the others.
Best Regards!
Dale
Hi @AnetaK,
First question: the tutorial used facebook API v2.2 while it's v2.8 in the Desktop now. So it could be normal that there isn't a "From" column. I didn't get one in my test neither. You could extend the object_link to get more columns.
Second Question: the error message said "nonexisting field". In my test, I used "music" first, then I used "posts" and add "?limit=100", it worked. Please have a try.
Best Regards!
Dale
