Mailchimp connector not working
Hi Anonymous,
Do you select oAuth2 Authentication Method when connect to the content pack? How about refreshing the web page or re-signing in Power BI Service?
Thanks,

Hi all,
I was experiencing this same issue and found a solution... ensure your data has actually loaded (this will depend on when Power BI schedules your Datasets to be refreshed).
To check this do the following:
1 - sign in to Power BI.
2 - click "Settings" (cog wheel) in the top right corner... and select "Settings" from the drop down menu.
3 - click on "Datasets" across the top menu... and select "Mailchimp" from your list to see the settings for this Dataset.
4 - near the top of the "Settings for MailChimp" should be some text stating when the "Next refresh:..."is scheduled for. Initially for me, mine was set later on that evening, so the Dataset hadn't been populated yet to populate the MC Dashboard.
5 - expand the "Schedule Reresh" option and add new refresh option (note: you can only set them to a 30 minute timeslots, so it to an upcoming time).
6 - go back to your MC Dashboard after the Dataset Refresh has generated and it should now be populated with data.
This was my issue, so hopefully it works for you.

Tried all the above; the MailChimp acount successfully connects to PowerBI; refresh succeeeds; the dashboards and reports are emplty. MailChimp says it's not their problem. Has anyone been able to get this to work?
