    Can you confirm you have the two scopes below selected for the App on the Cornerstone side. My issue was similar where it was working in Postman but not in PowerBi until I enabled the scope reportingmetadata:view. Another thing you could try for troubleshooting is setting the app to a user that has full permissions in Cornerstone with all the scopes enabled. If it works then it would just be narrowing it down to the permissions you are missing.

Troubleshooting Tips

  1. sessionToken in the URL is case sensitive.

  2. Make sure the API and sessionToken are active and enabled via the Edge API page.

  3. If you get the error: "Expression.Error: The 'Authorization' header is only supported when connecting anonymously. These headers can be used with all authentication types: Accept, Accept-Charset, Accept-Language, Cache-Control, If-Modified-Since, Referer" this means the OData authentication type is not set to Anonymous. To modify the setting, navigate to File > Options and settings > Data source settings. Find your data source URL from the list, click Edit, edit the credential type to be Anonymous, and click Done.  Try again.
