Dataflow OData unable to enter OAuth credentials popup error

[Anonymous]

I am having an issue trying to create a dataflow from the Dynamics 365 OData feed. When selecting Organisational credentials there's a brief flash of a popup window which disappears, followed by the error message "There was an error in the OAuth popup window".

This issue seems the same as this one but there was no solution there.

I am using the form https://<org-removed>.api.crm6.dynamics.com/api/data/v8.2 to connect.

The URL in the popup that displays briefly is: https://asia.prod.powerquery.microsoft.com/MashupEditor/oauthStartLogin.html?loginId=<id-removed>. The window closes before I get a chance to do anything more than copy the URL, then I get the error mentioned.

Has anyone found a solution to this issue?

Hi @Anonymous thank you for responding. I cannot see any option to obtain a detailed error message beyond what I have already supplied. Here is a screenshot:

We have found a workaround - the OAuth popup does not error if logged in to Power BI with a different account to the one to be used for authentication, and using Google Chrome only. This seems like a bug?

Hi @Anonymous ,

I think this should more related to dynamics datasource.(I test with other type of odata feed and it works)
I'd like to suggest you open a support ticket to get better support from power bi team.

We have found a workaround - we can authenticate so long as we use a different account for the Power BI service login and D365 Authentication, using Chrome.
