Dynamics 365 OData error with Power BI desktop
- 8 years ago
Excellent, that got it working. Thanks.
Same issue different machine accessing same URL. Still receiving the same error regardless of version in the URL.
BTW... all of the following URLs work poerfectly in IE, Edge, Firefox, Opera... but not in PowerBI
https://<my tenant>.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v8.2/ <-- returns OData JSON of all Entities
https://<my tenant>.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.0/ <-- returns OData JSON of all Entities
https://<my tenant>.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v8.2/accounts <-- returns all Account data
https://<my tenant>.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.0/accounts <-- returns all Account data
https://<my tenant>.api.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v8.2/accounts <-- returns all Account data
https://<my tenant>.api.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.0/accounts <-- returns all Account data
Is there a dependency I am missing. Am I missing something in my URL?
Is there a way for me to see the actual response message?
I am also experiancing this issue even though I am pointing at the v8.2 api in my URL. I have tried it with several organization tenants for different customers and they all fail to load any oData information from Dynamics. I had other coluges try to connect to our service with the same results:
I need to open a ticket, but not sure if it is a Dynamics 365 issue, or PowerBI.

I am having trouble using v8.2 as i dont have v9 yet.
I have the lates june update of Power BI.
The error occurs if i try to add a new data source using the Dynamics 365 (Online).
However, if i use the recent data sources provided before the error occured, it work as before.So for me i can still work. But, my coworkers are not so fortunate, they did not connect up before the problem occured and experience the error as provided in the post.
I hope this will be solved soon.

And...it is no longer working for me either. Nothing I have changed. :smileysad:

Also so everyone knows I have older powerbi reports I built initially using the organization data service (example https://******.crm.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc ) and it is still working, only the ones trying to use the API web service are broken.
I tried replacing the API with that url and it didnt work sadly, not sure how easy/hard it would be to change existing complex queries/reports to use that instead. - johnsaxton8 years agoMicrosoft Employee

If you paste the OData URL into a browser are you getting a valid JSON document back? If you do, then I think the problem is PowerBI, not Dynamics.
Append one of your entity types to the URL, https://<your tenant>.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/accounts (For example) this will return all of you account data. IF you get that in a browser, the issue is PowerBI

Yeah those all work fine with a web browser. I have a ticket open with Microsoft, and they are trying to figure out what is causing it. Will post back when I know more.

I have four other PowerBI D365 users that have verified this has stopped working without their having changed anything. Still no word back from Microsoft support.

Same situation for me :smileyindifferent:

Same situation for me as well. I worked around the issue by hand-coding OData.Feed() queries to get the data, this worked well to design and create the reports. But now, the published data set cannot be refreshed and results in an error. I've opened a support ticket to try to get a resolution.

Same for us, we updated to 9.0 and all powerbi reports are broken now :(
8.2, 8.1, 9.0 all results in metadata feed errors..
