This is what I get when I try to use option 2 and connect my data. How do I fix this? I am an admin in my tenant.
Hi, @Jeallo83
The error message "lacks a service principal" is displayed, or you need to configure a service principal first.

I'm sorry, I dont know what you mean by this. How do I find the data source?
Hi @Jeallo83
You will need to find the data sources for the emails, all the teams which you can find by searching the Internet. Once you find those sorted, you can then use power BI to connect to them.
Check out the May 2026 Power BI update to learn about new features.
