SalesForce scheduled synch setup returns error
IS teh salesforce API acces. see my posts.
oristides are you saying the solution is that Salesforce Professional cannot connect and you need to upgrade to Salesforce Enterprise?
While that may be the a solution, the support team are telling me that it should work with Salesforce Professional also.
I ckeched that. I my post i published.. Just in the moment i made the Salesforce upgrade Power BI connection worked well. Professional Eidtios doesnt allow API integrations by defalut( som accounts allow) I got to pay a little more for open API acceses to my professional edition.
So I have a professional edition with API services. I checked myself in Realtime. and then I created a Demo account in Salesforce Professional and Demo salesforce Enterprise(Same answer) It doesn worked with Professional because API services where not open.
I Hope you can assure your Salesforce edition allow API Services.
I am 100% sure that this is the problem. I had had 4 Month desesperatly trying to solve it.
Good Luck with your Salesforce Account Executive! wynhopkins
Hi oristides,
I also now have tried the Professional Edition with API services enabled and as you say the problem disappears.
I have flagged this with the Microsoft Team who are still in the process of assisting me
However at around $40AUD per user per month to have this enabled (and all users must have it if just one person needs it) it doesn't make financial sense to do so, I'll just use Power Update to push the PowerBI desktop file to PowerBI.com as often as needed.
I will let you know Microsoft's response
Yes, it is true. I the only one that use but every body had to upgrade. But capitalism is just thaqt unfair business getting advantage of necessity.
Look you can open a Salesforce Demo enterprise account.. and connect tu your PowerBI account.. I tried.. I uses ficticious accounts like ACME and ficticious opportunities. I worked for me to underestand this frustrating thing.
Good luck!
