Business Central Dataflow

Power BI 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

  • Use the proper category that best describes your topic

  • Provide as much context to a question as possible.

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.
