Trying to Link a WpA Demo query to PowerBi

Hi,

After doing the training I am actively pursuing my Practitioner badge. Upon receipt of my testing registration email they have you sign up for "Get access to our demo tenant".

This email comes with a set of instructions in a PDF attachment, which I was successful in completing until the one step before the very end. I have copied the URL into note pad and made it into one line in hopes of solving the issue, but I still get the same response. Screen shots below. Has anyone experienced this, or know of a way to get past this error, please let me know.

Thank you all in advance.

Last step in PDF instructions:

Error message:

Make URL one line

select:

Copy Paste URL from Notepad:

Error message:

Re-paste URL, just in case:

Same result:

Hi Eric, I am experiencing the same scenario as you, and have tried similar resolution steps with no luck. I await any response from the team/ community for support

Hi @VI_Migration and @VI_Migration!

Can you advise which report this OData link is meant to load into PowerBI for you?

I can't remember clearly, but I think I had a similar issue.

However, (again, if I remember correctly :)) you only need to access the Ways of Working assessment to assist with the training, and this can be downloaded from the training page (see below highlighted in yellow). Please check and advise?

Hi @VI_Migration @VI_Migration @VI_Migration, thank you Darion for the quick reply here. Darion is correct, to complete the badging process you only need the included PBI file and you should not need to connect that query URL to PBI. To open the PBI file download PowerBI desktop version and it should open up without any issues on the desktop app.

That step is out of date in the instructions. I will let the team know to remove that to help prevent further confusion. Thank you both for highlighting this.

Hi Darion and Jake, 

Thanks for clarifying. I’ll stick to using the ways of working power BI file
