Power BI BC Consolidated View Credential Issue

Hello,

Using the standard built-in APIs to connect from Power BI to Business Central, I'm looking to build a cross-environment, cross-company report.

 

I'd like the option to import each table (across environments and companies) into one table. For example, the "GL entries" table should have "environment" and "company" columns along with all the other "GL entries" columns

 

How do I go about doing this, please?
