Hi:
I'd like to use Power Query in Excel to find Business Central tables just like we can in Power BI.
But, I don't see a list of tables -- only fields for Web Service URLs.
Can you use Power Query in Excel to find tables?
Thanks!
John
If you are running Business Central online you can not access the database tables directly only the API's and webservice.
If you are running BC On -prem you can connect to the SQL server from Excel.
Hi, yes, as far as I know, the BC connector in Power BI is not included in Excel and can only be connected using Odata feed.
Of course, you can also synchronize data to Azure service or Dataverse, and then read data from there which is a bit troublesome.
Or you can try the following interesting feature.
Set Business Central data to show in Excel Organization Data Types Gallery (Featured tables in Power BI)

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
