Problems connecting to Visual Studio Team services
I was able to join the next preview cycle in November, but I am still having the problem with Power BI on the web.
Hi sc_bperry,
So your account Analytics OData endpoint has been enabled, right?
Please see below information from PG team:
We do not recommend using the Power BI Content Pack(being deprecated on Nov 15) or the Power BI Desktop Connector at this time. Using OData endpoint directly in Power BI allows for a lot more flexibility on what data is included in the model and that approach is also much less likely to be impacted by any upcoming changes.
We are working on a new feature we are tentatively calling “Analytics Views” which is designed to make getting your data into Power BI much easier, which will replace the existing Power BI Desktop connector. We expect to ship this new feature in the January timeframe.
The customer will need to make sure the Analytics Extension is installed before using OData - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms.vss-analytics.
Examples of how to use the Power BI extension (VSTS.Feed) can be found here: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/report/powerbi/data-connector-functions
A general overview of the OData endpoint can be found here: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/report/analytics/overview-analytics-service
A more detailed overview of the aggregations we support can be found here: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/report/analytics/aggregated-data-analytics
