Details: "OData: The given URL neither points to an OData service or a feed:

Hi All,

 

I'm not seeing a solution to this problem in the forms.  I'm trying to access visual stuido team services data from excel using power query or PowerBI via an oData connection.  I've found documenation that you're supposed to use your url https://"insertname".visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/WorkItems and it should request authentication.  I need to consume the Visual Studio Team Service data in order to create dashboards across multiple VSTS projects.  Does anyone have any direction on this?  The error I'm getting is  "OData: The given URL neither points to an OData service or a feed:"

 

There is a post that mentions using alternate authentication credientials but I tried that and it didn't seem to work.
