Odata Loading issues

Hello eveyone,

 

I'm using my sitecore xconnect instance's Odata Feed as a source. When my data has multilevels and using @odata attributes I can't access it with Power BI. But when I try to access the feed with postman or browser I can see it without an issue.

 

This is how my data looks like in postman

    "@odata.context": "https://sc92.xconnect/odata/$metadata#Interactions",
    "@odata.count": 3,
    "value": [
        {
            "EngagementValue": 20,
            "StartDateTime": "2019-10-15T08:47:06.2206816Z",
            "EndDateTime": "2019-10-15T08:47:06.2206816Z",
            "ChannelId": "86761432-fdbb-4c4b-afae-557130ae4d61",
            "Initiator": "Brand",
            "UserAgent": "Sample User Agent",
            "Id": "0942714d-3104-0000-0000-05ade5e1d1aa",
            "ConcurrencyToken": "1216f20b-2c92-4c30-8d04-73882a0dd76c",
            "LastModified": "2019-10-15T08:47:06.2826827Z",
            "Contact": {
                "@odata.id": "/Contacts(0942714d-3104-0000-0000-05ade5e1b51c)"
            },
            "Events": [
                {
                    "@odata.type": "#Sitecore.XConnect.Goal",
                    "CustomValues": [],
                    "DefinitionId": "87431b9b-fa39-4780-beb3-1047b9e61876",
                    "EngagementValue": 20,
                    "Id": "b8dbdc30-34c2-479a-9c24-2a63d2252e13",
                    "Timestamp": "2019-10-15T08:47:06.2206816Z"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]

  I can't access the bold section / Contact info.

For some properties I get DataFormat.Error: We expected a property 'Id', but the OData service omitted it from the response data. This can occur for a number of reasons and does not necessarily imply that the data does not exist or is of a default value.

Here's another example

When I try to access this DataSourcePath with Postman I have no issues.

Any ideas?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you mean that when you connect to OData feed, it is success. But when you expand records, the issue appears? If so, maybe this blog can help you.

Hi @Icey 

 

Thanks for the reply but unfortunately I can't see the response in Power BI.

 

This is how data looks

{
            "Name": "Product List Page",
            "DisplayName": "",
            "Path": "/sitecore/content/Core/Home/demo/Product List Page",
            "Language": "de-DE",
            "Version": 1,
            "IsLatestVersion": true,
            "TemplateId": "a8dc74e1-0bbc-4653-b5de-7592b0e6b9d2",
            "TemplateName": "Product List Page",
            "Created": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
            "Updated": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
            "ParentId": "7b79bb4c-e25d-4deb-a994-bdad4bd84d9e",
            "Id": "0085bbee-8062-46d8-9d02-1c8ca0a920af",
            "Url": "http://starter.sc/sitecore/api/ssc/aggregate/content/Items('0085bbee-8062-46d8-9d02-1c8ca0a920af')",
            "StandardFieldValues": {
                "__Workflow": "{A5BC37E7-ED96-4C1E-8590-A26E64DB55EA}"
            }
        }

I want to get the Workflow field value.  This is how it looks on Power BI

And I only get a count field when I follow the post you sent. Also all of the values are 0 for some reason.
