Anonymous,

Please use Dynamics NAV connector in Power BI Desktop and check if you are able to connect to the data source. In addition, do you add proper firewall rule for the Dynamics NAV port ?

Regards.

    Hi Lydia, 

     

    Thanks for the reply. 

     

    Please explain what do you mean by adding proper firewall rule for the Dynamics NAV port. I am using the port 3047 to connect to NAV client. Sepratelly, i have kept the windows firewall off. Is this the same you are pointing about? 

     

    Is there any link which explains the proper firewall rule for the dynamics NAV port ?.

      Since you have turned off firewall, it doesn't require to add port to firewall rule. Are you able to connect to the data source in Power BI Desktop?
