do you mean clicking edit on the Power BI visual to load the powerapps site from there? I tried that initially but it doesn't trigger the XXXX_ID part still. I have the field selected on the Power BI box, but it just doesn't seem to trigger it to be prompted in Power Apps. It's so frustrating!

    Yes, you need to follow the initial sequence exactly, otherwise you end up with no data to play with. Start over.

      Ok thanks i'll give that a go - so just go in to the app and remove the "Power BI Integration" thing, and then go back on to power BI and link the app from scratch?

        That's not enough.  Remove the entire PowerApp.

         

        You hve exactly one shot at getting the PowerBIIntegration right - when you first edit the PowerApps visual in Power BI.
