Do you have the Netweaver Gateway installed? The one used for fiori apps. It is a free SAP product. You just need to install it. You can write simple report function modules in ECC (say for sales or inventory data) and then map them through the gateway. Super simple. Then you've just created a REST oData feed that can be consumed in PowerBI. Straight Up...now BW garbage, cubes, all that muck and no Hana required. I've done it numerous times...only downfall is if you are trying to read too much (like financials for five years).

≪ Previous: Re: Connecting to MAGENTO (eCommerce platform)

I am trying to get Power BI to use windows logins to access our sql server connection rather than a direct sql login. Direct sql login woks fine through the gateway. Windows login does not. We have a local domain at our office that our users log in under and our servers are on amazon cloud on a separate domain. How to get amazon sql cloud domain to allow windows login credentials from an 'untrusted' domain (this is the error in power BI trace. login is from an untrusted domain and therefore fails. Network admin says the only way to create a true trust between those 2 domains would be to rebuild the 2 domain controllers which he obviously doesn't want to do.

I have found that Power BI will record the steps of your query, including any filters you place on each column.

So filter the column, Power BI records the step, apply and save.

Note, this is when I am using the desktop designer.

Hi Lydia,

I logged out of PowerBI and logged back in. That seems to have resolved it.

Unsure why it happened but at least it works now. I will let you know if the issue comes back again.

Thanks

,

Based on my reserach, you are able to use Apache CouchDB API to get data. In Power BI Desktop, you can use web connector to connect to the API and then create report. After that, you are able to publish report to Power BI Service and set schedule refresh for the dataset.

About how to use Apache CouchDB API to get data, please review the official articles.
http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.1.2/api/index.html
https://couchdb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/ddoc/views.html

Also there is another similar blog about how to use API to get data from Couchbase server for your reference.

Are you able to connect to SQL Server using Windows login via SQL Server Management Studio in the gateway machine? If you still get same error, I am afraid that you should establish a trusted relatsionship between the two domains, which is necessary for Windows login.

Office 365 Usage Analytics Data Manipulation

≫ Next: access_denied: AADSTS65005: The application 'Microsoft Power Query for Excel' asked for scope 'user_

≪ Previous: Re: Can't get Power BI to accept windows login for sql credentials

Hi everyone,

We're exploring the reports available in the Microsoft 365 Adoption Preview & 365 Usage Analytics using Power BI. The reports are really helpful, however we're hoping to further manipulate the data.

Our next big focus is to breakdown each user's activity - each month, on each O365 product with the different types of Activity. This will allow us to create a relationship to our different services which we can then use to filter through the data to identify areas of improvement and measure successes.

The barrier we have currently is that the Usage Analytics & Adoption Preview seems to only report total activity for a product in a given month as 'count' of activity data - we don't seem to be able to break this down further to see which users are included in such a count.

For example, we want to view how many Skype IM messages & Outlook emails were sent within X sub-department of our organisation on a month-by-month breakdown over the last 6 or 12 months - but we have not found a way to obtain this. information Is there any way to obtain further usage data from the available APIs for us to break down, or is there a way to 'go up a level' for the Adoption Preview data?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Jeremy White (SCC)

Any ideas?
