Business Central Dataflow

Online Service
#1

Hi,

Has anyone set-up a dataflow from Microsoft Business Central?

I have seen videos online about connecting via oData connection which I have successfully done but there must be a better connection method to take advantrage of both platforms being in the cloud so I have tried to use the Web API option within PBI service but my source shows as Json.Document(web.Contents… which i can’t seem to convert to a table.

Any ideas suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ben

Hi @BCS, we aim to consistently improve the topics being posted on the forum to help you in getting a strong solution faster. While waiting for a response, here are some tips so you can get the most out of the forum and other Enterprise DNA resources.

  • Use the forum search to discover if your query has been asked before by another member.

  • Use the proper category that best describes your topic

  • Provide as much context to a question as possible.

  • Include the masked demo pbix file, images of the entire scenario you are dealing with, screenshot of the data model, details of how you want to visualize a result, and any other supporting links and details.

I also suggest that you check the forum guideline How To Use The Enterprise DNA Support Forum. Not adhering to it may sometimes cause delay in getting an answer.

Please also check the How To Mask Sensitive Data thread for some tips on how to mask your pbix file.
