Hi, MikeSchuster ;

MS PBI uses IE11 for authentication and SFDC lightening has stopped supporting IE11.

Make sure you are using PBI Desktop downloaded from the MS Download Center and NOT the MS Store App
In Registry Editor location\ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION from decimal 11000 to 7000.

Solved: Salesforce connection not working - Microsoft Power BI Community

Solved: Salesforce Connection - Browser error - Microsoft Power BI Community

Solved: Re: Unable to connect we encountered an error whil... - Microsoft Power BI Community

Hi,

 

Are you saying that changing the decimal value in the machine's registry where PBI Desktop is installed is the solution?  Doing that would allow me to create the parameter?

 

Thank You,

Mike
