    Hi Lydia,

     

    Thanks for your response.

    Unfortunately, neither of these solutions work.

    First, we are connecting to a Folder, not a List -- so the 2nd link is not really relevant.  Did try it but didn't work.

    We also tried the solution prescribed in the first link and it did not work.  We are not able to view ANY fields related to term sets when connecting to a SP Folder in Power BI.  Several websites describe the process to go through for Lists -- where you see the associated GUID and join back -- but neither the text field nor the guid field is displayed.

    Note - we can view this information when connecting via MS Excel and MS Access.  We have tried replicated those connection strings -- Excel seems to use OLE - but didn't work.

     

    Thanks,

    Dan

      Hello,

       

      Any updates on this?  Is this possible or planned for the future?

      We may have to not use Power BI if this functionality does not exist.

       

      Thanks,

      Dan
