PowerApps Common Data Service as a new data source

Hi guys, in yesterday’s update Power BI November, I found PowerApps Common Data Service connector in Beta as a preview, but nowhere I can’t find any information about that, do you know something more...

Great news that this may be close in a few Amanda.  We can even see the perms now in PowerApps admin area, which may(?) be live on that side...From PowerApps Admin Center 2/1

But no blog note yet, and PowerBI is still singing the "not supported" blues, even though we're now into Feburary (rabbit rabbit). 

 

We have some POC's backing up on this, any idea if it might be in the Feburary release map for Desktop at least?

 

Thanks for any insight!

Has anyone been successful in connecting the common data service database to Power BI? 

 

I have created a test environment and database where I am the admin, followed the instructions, but I do see the button to enable the connection in PowerApps Admin.  I can see the environment from PBI but it does not complete the connection.

Thanks.

    As of today, I am still unable to enable CDS in the Powerapps Admin portal.

     

    The latest Power BI Desktop (December 2017) presents the same response as others have noted, "region not supported ... or not enabled." The connector is still listed as "beta".

     

    I don't know my PowerApps region, but I'm in Falls Church, VA, not an exotic foreign locale <g>

     

    It is very odd and frustrating that the capability was announced a full TEN months ago, yet no action.

     

    There was a posting with an email address to request expedited access, but that email address is no longer valid.

     

    While CDS is an appealing concept, lack of PBI integration is a show-stopper for my clients.
