DAX Studio live connection

Hello,

I attempted to connect DAX Studio to a report that uses a the Power BI Dataset to create a live connection to the data model.

The DAX studio guide says that this can be done by getting the powerbi:// link from the Power BI service settings.

I did this and input it into the DAX Studio connect interface. But I got the error message stating Workspace not found. 

My best guess is that the workspace name is four words separated by spaces. I have tried reentering the URL without the spaces and also tried replacing the spaces with "_" but neither of these worked either.

I am fairly new to Power BI and entirely new to DAX studio so it may be something fairly elemental that I've overlooked.

Any suggestions welcome 🙂

    Hi WHH 

     

    What you can do is to go into the Premium App Workspace and then click on Settings and then Premium

     

    And then click on Copy to copy the link which you can then use in DAX studio

      Thank you for the prompt reply.

      The workspace is premium, and I used this method to generate the link which I paste into the Studio connector, but still generated the 'not found' error. Or it generates an error "(400) Bad Request"

      Do you think it might be because the URL has spaces? 

      The link reads powerbi://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/Word1 Word2 Word3 Word4

    Hi WHH 

     

    Can you connect DAX Studio to a Power BI dataset now? I connected it to a PPU workspace in two URL formats (one has spaces in workspace name and the other replace spaces with %20) and both of them succeeded. Does it work at your side?
