Organizational Data Types in Excel using Power BI - Datetype shows, but no data is found

Hi

I've published a pbix file to a modern workspace, retrieving data from an SQL server.

A few DIM tables are marked as featured tables, as I want to access them from Excel datatypes.

In Excel the tables show up as datatypes under My organisation.

The key columns are text datatypes in Power BI desktop.

I enter a few key columns words - the full text, eg '770002', as I know they exists, mark them as a table and as the organizational datatype.

Excel can retrive the dataset throug Get data > Power BI og via Power BI service > Analyze in Excel.

I've created a new pbix, loaded only one table, marked it as featured, uploaded - but same result, the datatype shows in Excel but returns no result.

The preinstalled datatypes works fine, eg. Movies, Countries etc.

Excel is version 2106 (build 14131.20278) 

Why does my Power BI datatypes not return any data?

    The answer was: to be patient. Today it works, so some delay seem to be required ...
