Exposing Table(s) & Field(s) For Use In Power BI

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by Flynn.Fr 42
Hello,
 
I am trying to create a report in Power BI that would use the /Closed at Date/ field in the Cust. Ledger Entries or Table 21 in our system. When I retrieve the table data in Power BI, I am not seeing this field. I tried changing the query myself to only include the fields I want. When I do this and exclude /Closed_At_Date/ the query works. When I include this field, it does not work. 

Has anyone else experienced this issue before? I had a similar issue with the Posted Sales Shipments table and was able to resolve it by creating a new exposition. That did not work in this case. 
 
Any help is appreciated. 
 
Thanks

    What can be accessed in Power BI are the pages or queries pubished in the Web Service, and APIs, including standard APIs and custom APIs. The BC table cannot be accessed directly.
    If you need to add a new field, the easiest way is to add it to the page and then publish it in Web Services. (This may require using Page Extension)
    Another approach is to create a custom API, which has much better performance than Web Service.
     
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.
