Pulling in Graph Microsoft api into powerbi

[chinny]

Hi there, 

Is there an official way of pulling in data from https://graph.microsoft.com/.. into PowerBi..? In my case it's (https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/servicePrincipals) etc.

I get the 'unable to connect' prompt when connecting via the 'odata feed'. However I am able to veiw the data in graph-explorer.

Other then that I see lots of workaround. 

Many thanks

You can also use this method - I created a step by step guide, and it does work 🙂
