Hi dmitryo,

Add a new blank query in Power BI Desktop, then paste following code in Advanced Editor and you will be able to get insights data from the your Facebook page.

let
    Source = Facebook.Graph("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/pagename/insights")

Regards,
Lydia

    dmitryo,

    The issue is related to Facebook API, you can test v2.5 and v2.9 in Facebook console. By using v2.9, facebook api returns error message, thus Power BI Desktop can't get any data from Facebook. Please contact Facebook support to troubleshoot this issue.
