Pulling tables to Power BI

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 5

Hello Everyone!

I would like to pull in Power BI some tables, that are not available by default in a list generated by Get Data->Dynamics 365 Business Central->MyCompany. So I've learned the way of using Web Services in Dynamics to publish a page that I need. However Pages might not contain all details that I want and by using "Inspect page" functionality I can get the required number of a Table that contains all columns.

The problem is that in "Web Service" there is no object type called "Table" (I see only Codeunit, Page, Query) so when I select any of them and indicate the desired Table number in ID field I get an object of another type (Codeunit, Page, Query) that has the same ID as a Table that I want to pull to PowerBI.

Any ideas how to pull to PowerBI the whole table by kwing its ID? Would be grateful if solution woudn't require creation of queries but could use only standard Dynamics functionality.

Thank you!

    Tables aren’t an option here. Try card pages for extra details on master data. Transaction tables you should have enough already. If not then developing page extensions to add the missing fields or producing your own query objects are the way to go.

    Other reporting solutions could be a different avenue if you don’t get what you need. I know Jet Reports actively promote the idea of using it to pull data from tables and then you create the visuals with Power BI reading the file produced by Jet Reports

    Hi there,

    When you want to publish some webservice, the only object types are Pages, Query & Codeunits.

    If you want to get table data then you've following options:

    1- Design a query object with respective table data ( the best option)
    docs.microsoft.com/.../devenv-query-object

    2- Design or use custom/standard pages having related tables data

    3- Design a codeunit to get related tables data.
