Hi Anonymous , 

 

Based on my research, It seems like caused by the deleted service app, the last part of this doc mention that delete the app used by AppSource will make them no longer work.

 

You can try to use this service called Analytics for Salesforce-Sales Manager, or connected to "Online Service" - "Salesforce Report" in the Power BI Desktop, and publish to the Service.

Hi v-lid-msft,

 

Thanks for your response. The issue using salesforce report from the desktop version is the limitation to 2000 rows. The other one is the automatic refresh integrated in the app online.

 

It is really odd because this App "Analytics for Salesforce" is still used by Microsoft to explain how to connect salesforce to power BI (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-connect-to-salesforce) and we have no announcement explaining why this app got removed. 

 

I know there are multiple ways to connect data between Salesforce and Power BI but this one was the easiest and fastest. I still can't believe that Microsoft remove applications that people are using daily without any announcement(Maybe I missed it). 

 

Do you know if this app is coming back ?

 

Thanks

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    I am sorry that we do not know when the app will come back, maybe you can try the other service app about salesforce as workaround.
