Assistance Required for Power BI Connection to Business Central SaaS

(0) ShareShare

I hope you are doing well.

We are in the process of migrating from Business Central On-Premises to Business Central SaaS. Currently, I am using Power BI to visualize transactional data. However, I am facing issues while creating a connection in Power BI Dataflows to fetch data from Business Central SaaS.

Issue Details:

While trying to connect Power BI Dataflows to Business Central SaaS via Web Services, I am encountering the following error:

Error Message:
"An exception occurred: Expression.Error: The environment 'https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/xxxxxxxxxxxx' does not exist. Tenant: xxxxxxxxxxxx . (Session ID: xxxxxxxxxxxxx, Region: Europe)"

Current Setup:

  • Power BI Server Region: West Europe
  • Business Central SaaS Region: UAE

It seems like the region difference might be causing this issue. Could you please guide me on how to resolve this error?

Alternative Approach – Best Data Loading Strategy:

Instead of using Dataflows, I am looking for the best approach to load data first and then transform it before using it for reporting. What would be the recommended method to achieve this in an efficient and scalable way?

Your guidance on both the error resolution and the best data extraction approach would be highly appreciated.

Looking forward to your response.
