Hi NoralfG,

 

The content pack can only connect to Online data sources which you would have to have Dynamics NAV Online to be able to use the NAV content pack. In your scenario, please use OData Feed data source in Power BI desktop to re-create reports. Then publish the report to Power BI service, configure the dataset to use the on-premise data gateway.

Hi v-qiuyu-msft,

 

It's probably so that's the only supported variant. But first of all: In Norway Microsoft does not offer NAV as an online service, secondly I'm aware of many customers using the content pack for on-premise installations. ;-)

 

I think Anonymous pointed me to the source of the problem: We need to use basic authentication.

 

I'll let you know when I've tested that... ;-)
