Power BI Desktop integration with Dynamics 2016 On-Prem

Hello everyone!

I have been trying, without success, to connect our Dynamics CRM 2016 On-Prem to Power BI Desktop using the following

However, when I paste the Instance Web API into PowerBi, I get an error prompt preventing me from progressing.  It reads "Invalid Arguments: one or more of the input fields is in the incorrect format".

I have tried removing the extra */* from the address, pasted all available addresses listed in the Customizations/Developer Resources settings, and still haven't had success.  All returned the same error prompt.

 

What am I doing wrong here?  This seems like a simple process and I'm missing something...

@PKoffler,

 

For Dynamics On-Prem data source, you need to use OData Feed when connecting to it.

Our On-Prem deployment is IFD as well, and I receive an identical error.

 

Looks like no Power BI for our org.
