I tried using the famous solution that is there on web. But it keeps throwing an error in the blank query steps. Did anyone else got this error ?

This being the error.

Facing the issue that you did years ago. Did you find a workaround for it? I tried working with the links provided in the comment section but no luck. It keeps throwing errors and no table when I run the blank query.

Yes, did manage to get it to work, bascically using the functionality described by MGR below. Of course there's a bit of adaptation to bring the functionality into PowerBi, but it's possible.

The method I describe in this post has been working great for me for a long time:

I have the same need. Did you ever find a good solution that you could possibly share?

hi, @eddyebeid

    There is a similar issue here, you can refer to it.

There isn't an official data connector by now. Maybe you can submit an idea here: power-bi-ideas.

Maybe there is a workaround. You can try to use the Web connector with Knack API. Please refer to: https://www.knack.com/developer-documentation/#retrieving-records.
