*This post was written for 亿博电竞 NAV but the content directly applies to 亿博电竞 365 for Financials, which is the cloud product based on 亿博电竞 NAV. You may notice some slight differences in the screenshots, but the information and steps are directly applicable to 亿博电竞 365 for Financials.

*Update: With the release of 亿博电竞 365 for Financials (formerly called Project Madeira) this post has been updated. Please find How to Integrate Power BI with 亿博电竞 365 for Financials here.

This post will cover how to integrate your Project Madeira instance directly with Power BI (free version).

Project Madeira is based on 亿博电竞 NAV, so this walkthrough will be similar to our Power BI with 亿博电竞 NAV – Demo Install blog post . The largest difference with Project Madeira deployments built into Office 365, there is no on-premise option and gateway to consider. We’ll walk through the necessary Office 365 data authentication to get www.powerbi.com to connect to your Project Madeira instance.

Prerequisites

O365 Account with Project Madeira and Power BI (free) accessible – this is normally not an issue unless you are in a O365 demo/tenant environment with limited appsContents
Verify User Account and Web Service Authentication Key
Verify OData for the 亿博电竞 NAV Service Tier
Power BI Get Data – Connect to Project Madeira

Verify User Account and Web Service Authentication Key

1. In Project Madeira, navigate to the “Users” page. (Either use the Search for “Users” or navigate to Company Settings > Users)
2. Select your User Account and click Edit

3. Verify your User Name (which may be different from your O365 account)
4. Verify your “Web Service Access Key” if the field is blank or you’d like to generate a new one, click “Change Web Service Access Key” in the ribbon.

We’ll be using the User Name and Web Service Access Key in upcoming steps.

Verify the Office 365 Data URL is Accessible

1. You can find the Office 365 Data URL within Project Madeira:
a. Use the Search to find Web Services
b. Copy the OData URL from one of the services and strip off the end, up to the Company() portion.

Syntax: http://:/MS/OData/Company(‘’)
Example: http://mydemo.projectmadeira.com:7048/MS/OData/Company(‘CRONUS US’)/

2 . When you enter your URL, you will be prompted with a login.
a. Username = Your “User Name” from Project Madeira, which may be different than your O365 account.
b. Password = Your “Web Service Access Key”

NOTE: Most versions of IE will give a message “Cannot display this feed.”

Using another browser such as Chrome will work to display/verify the feed:

Power BI Get Data – Connect to Project Madeira

With your Project Madeira OData service and authentication verified, you are ready to connect Power BI to Project Madeira:
1. Go to www.powerbi.com (sign-in with O365 credentials)
2. Get Data > Services

3. Search for Project Madeira, click on Project Madeira and click Connect.

4. In the OData Feed URL, enter the URL you tested in the “Verify the OData URL is Accessible” step.

5. After clicking next this will ask for an Authentication Method. Choose “Basic”, fill in the User name, Password and click Sign In.
a. Username = Your “User Name” from Project Madeira, which may be different than your O365 account.
b. Password = Your “Web Service Access Key”
