Connect Odata resource from Power BI Services

Is there an app that will allow me to connect to an oData resource via Power BI services?  I know I can do it via the Power Bi Desktop, but what about Power Bi online services?

 

thanks

    Hi jhampson,

    What OData data source do you connect to? Power BI Service provide content packs for some online OData sources, you can connect to these content packs in Service.

    In addition, what is the problem you get after connecting to your OData source in Power BI Desktop? You can create reports in Power BI Desktop, publish reports to Power BI Service and schedule refresh for your dataset in Service.

    Thanks,
    Lydia Zhang

      I want to connect to Microsoft Dynamics CRM online.

      I've seen one of the content packs - it creates an SQL server in Azure, a kind of datawarehouse. Thing is.. there are apps for Dynamics in get data, only those apps don't seem to pull any custom data.

        Hi jhampson,

        Except the Microsoft Dynamics CRM content pack, there is no method to connect to Microsoft Dynamics CRM from Power BI Service. Why not use Power BI Desktop?

        Thanks,
