Hi there,

 

I have an issue with some data that I wish to use from Microsoft Project. I'm not able to allow Power BI to connect neither with Microsoft Project Web App nor with Project version online in the shared point.

I think the issue is the tenant name, I have tried in all possible way but I cannot find a solution.

Mynda can you please assist me ?

Many thanks in advance!

Sally

 

PS, here below the suggestions from Microsoft

Hi Sally,

Sounds like it could be a tenant issue. To test if it is, save the Microsoft Project file to a location you know you definitely have access to and try to load it from there. If you can load it, then you know you need to fix the permissions in the Project file's permanent location.

Hi Mynda,

 

there is no chance for me to download and save the file, I believe it is an online version in the shared point as in the URL there is :

https://project.microsoft.com/xxxxxxxx.onmicrosoft.com/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

for privacy reason I have deleted the URL bit with sensitive info with xxx.

I'm stuck here and I really need an help for this.

Any other idea pls?

Thanks

Sally

Hi Sally,

If you've followed the steps in the online resources for Microsoft Project and it's not working, then you're best to go to your IT people to ask them what tenant it's on and whether you have access to it.

The instructions linked to in your post above state:

"You need to have Portfolio Viewer, Portfolio Manager, or Administrator permissions for the Project Web App you are connecting to."

I hope that helps.
