Project 2016 & Power BI Content pack
Hi fourbridges,
According to your description, I' have a little confused about your "Project 2016".
If you want to get data from project online, please refer to below link to know to get data from project online through odata connector.
Project Online: connect to data through Power BI Desktop
If you mean get data from MS project on-premise, you need to setting proxy connect to confirm your device can access to remote server.
After you publish to power bi service, you also need to setting proxy on your gateway.
Configuring proxy settings for the on-premises data gateway

Thank you for your response. Sorry for the confusion. I'm probably not be using the correct terminology or description.
No, I don't have a problem connecting to my data and uploading it to Power BI. That's working good.
I create everything in Project '16 desktop, which are synced to Project Online. But now that all my projects are loaded into the Power BI Content pack, I don't know how to make it look good visually, or how to use the full extent of the content pack.
For example, all my project types are "Enterprise" projects, and I don't know how to change this to modify what type of project each are. Also, "Risk Count" and "Issues Count" are blank, and I don't know where it's pulling this info from. I'm obviously not providing enough data in my project, but I don't know where all the data is pulled from to generate the reports in the Content Pack.
That why I was wondering if there was a tutorial out there that shows, beginning to end, creating a Project '16 document that uses all the reports in the Power BI Content Pack so I can see how the data from my MPP file is used in the dashboard.
Thank you.
