How can I get the data from a content pack in PBI Desktop (ProjectOnline)?

Hi all,

 

I want to combine the data in the ProjectOnline Content Pack with some of our local organisational data?

 

I have tried to use Get Data as an OData feed to link to the ProjectOnline Content Pack, however I am told I am not authorised - although I can get the Content Pack in the service.

 

Is this something that is possible that I am just not working out, or is this not a possibility.

 

Thanks!

@Anonymous You can't connect to a Contact Packs as a data source. The downside of using CP's in the service is that you are stuck with whatever is presented and you can't modify it. There is some cross-over, and from my understanding the Desktop continues to add some of those direct connections, but there is a gap. In the Project Online scenerio, you need to directly connect to you Project Online instance using your Odata connection.
