NAV 2015 Cumulative Update - Support for Power BI?

DarkSide

Does one of the more current cumulative updates address the web service login problem to refresh data from Power BI?

Hi Dark Side,

NAV 2009 and Later should support Power BI.

I am also stuck with same but as per Microsoft blog this should work if the Service Tier is exposed on public IP. I cannot do it here but give it a try with following link and do update this article -

Power BI runs on OData, so it works only from 2013R2 and newer I guess.

I should be more clear. Using the initial release of NAV 2015, you can connect to web services using Power BI Desktop. However, if yoiu publish to the Power BI website and try to schedule a refresh the credentials will not authenticate for some reason. This is not a security configuration problem (or it doesn't seem to be) becuase Power BI Desktop can connect to the web services from outside our corporate network.
