Hi, RoskBI 

 

yes, it is possible. According to this MS  learn doc you  need a EA or MCA account for that. make sure you are using the correct account type and correct role to implement this setup. 

 

Also make sure your data is not more than 1 milion, because data request more than 1 milion rows is not supported by PBI.

Also make sure you are using the right scope to view AWS data. available scopes are

Hi thank you for your response and sorry for the delay.

 

I appreciate your help. I understand we view AWS costs in Azure Cost Management (through the Azure Portal).

 

However, we are trying to see AWS costs in Power Bi Desktop using the Azure Cost Management connector.

 

Our logic was that we assumed because we can see our AWS costs in Azure, we should also be able to see these costs in Power Bi using the connector, however, we cannot seem to find them.

 

Any further advice?

 

Thanks,

Matt
