Is the connecting VSO to PBI documentation still current?

I was able to follow the doc: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-content-pack-visual-studio/ to connect VSO to PBI. But recently I keep getting this connection error. Any ideas?

Hi @xgao,

 

VSTS content pack is deprecating, you can see Important section here. You can get started with VSTS reporting through OData: 

 

The preview of the Analytics v4 OData endpoint is now available and opens a set of new experiences for VSTS including consuming VSTS data in Power BI.

 

Please verify that the Analytics Marketplace Extension (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms.vss-analytics) is installed on the account(s). The one-time process of transferring data begins immediately, and the setup applies to the entire account. The process takes just a few minutes depending on how much data exists.

 

A general overview of our service and how to use the OData endpoint can be found here:
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/report/analytics/what-is-analytics

 

The data available through the OData endpoint is secured based on project settings and the View Analytics permission. An overview of the Analytics authorization model can be found here https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/report/analytics/analytics-security

 

Examples of how to use the Power BI extension (VSTS.Feed) can be found here: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/report/powerbi/data-connector-functions

 

Query performance is heavily dependent on the structure of the OData query, we have complied a list of recommendations which can be found here: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/report/extend-analytics/odata-query-guidelines

 

If you are already familiar with OData and our service, a more detailed overview of the aggregations we support can be found here: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/report/extend-analytics/aggregated-data-analytics

 

Lastly an overview of what data is available in the model can be found here: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/report/extend-analytics/data-model-analytics-service

 

Best Regards,
Qiuyun Yu
