Helper IPower Apps visual in Power BI not working
Hi guys,
again, thank you all for your help. Finally, it showed up that the problem was somewhere else. That's why I cannot tell which of your answer solved my problem, as the problem was different then I described.
The problem was in a language version of Power Apps. I use the czech version (cannot force browser to be in english for some reason) but my coleague user english version. And Power Apps has different approach to name of aggregation. The column from Power BI was aggregated and czech naming was used for it instead of "Sum of..." And that didn't work for my coleague which I falsely evaluated as problem of connection (as she was not able to see any connected data). No, it was a problem of bad naming of a column that was used to filter Sharepoint table.
Feel bad about it. Sorry that I misled you.

Super UserHi Vasek00005 ,
It appears that you will need to authorize/share the app with the user in Power Apps first. This is a documented limitation in Microsoft's official documentation for the Power Apps visual for Power BI: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/powerapps-custom-visual#limitations-of-the-power-apps-visual
If this helped, please mark it as the solution so others can benefit too. And if you found it useful, kudos are always appreciated.
Thanks,
Samson
Helper IHi Samson,
many thanks for your help. Just to clafiry - you mean to share the app from Power Apps (simply share) or send a link to the user so they open the app and sign in?

Hi Vasek00005 , you would just need to share the app. Here is documentation from Microsoft on how you can share the app: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/share-app#share-an-app-from-power-apps
Please let me know if the visual works after sharing the app.
