Dynamics NAV content pack for Power BI desktop

Hi all,

 

It's working fine on powerbi.com but I can't find it on the desktop version. Is it normal, or I'm missing something ?

In the case it is not, will this be available ?

 

Thanks

 

John

  • Hi John - the content pack uses the OData connector that also exists in the Power BI Desktop. While it's not listed as Dynamics NAV, that OData entry should allow you to connect when you provide the same URL as you do in powerbi.com.

      Hi does that mean that the Desktop version downloads the Microsoft Dynamics NAV content pack so I can get the same dashboards "out of the box" as on Powerbi.com? Or do I have to build the dashboards myself? My customers wants to be able to run the Desktop version.

       

      Thanks

        Hi PalleA,

         

        It's not possible to get the content pack from powerbi.com (or I didn't find out how).

         

        You will need to recreate the dashboards. It doesn't take too long.

      Hi TPalmer

       

      Do you think it will become available for download so we can use it using the Desktop client?

       

      Thanks

    Is there any update on this? I would love to have those NAV Content Pack dashboards/reports for Power BI Desktop.
