Nav 2018 - Power BI OData Connection

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 222

Hi,

I have 2 instances of Nav. 1 I am hosting locally on my PC and another which is hosted on an Azure vm.

I am trying to connect to the OData Feed for both of these.

I navigate to Web services on Nav2018 and have tried copying and pasting in the Url which is provided in but they do not work.

Is there additional setup to allow these OData Feeds to be accessed by Power BI.

I have been able to connect to Power BI Desktop using SQL Credentials but I wish to connect with OData going forward.

I have also tried connecting on a trial version of NAV 2018 which was provided my Microsoft on their dynamics.trials page. I was able to connect to the OData instantly with this instance. I take it it is a setup on Nav which I need to alter but I don't know what it is.

Has anyone experienced this before or could you provide me with any information on the above matter?

    Are you using Power BI Destktop connect to your local instance ?  Can you browser your OData URL ?

    Yes I am using Power BI Desktop. I can access OData URL now

    I disabled SSL on the Nav Server and now I can connect.

    However I do not want to connect without SSL as I want my connection to be secure.

    What do I need to do to ensure my Power BI will connect to OData when I enable SSL on Nav again.

    I take it I need to add the certificate somewhere but where do I add it?
