@lbendlin  - Yes, that's not the issue :). Tha just my mistake when grabbing the sample screenshot.

OK, so here's the bad news.  According to Chris Webb you cannot use OAUTH2 authentication with the Power BI REST API from within Power Query.  You can only use AAD auth (which is a simplified subset of OAUTH2).
