Office 365 Excel Power Query Preview Problem Signing In -- Appears Corrupted, Please Repair

The image below shows that Excel "thinks" I'm signed in with an organizational account that has Power BI Preview, yet Power Query from Excel doesn't think I'm signed in and says it's corrupted when I try to sign in. I was trying to use the
online search to find the odata feed that I have set up for Office 365 Power BI Preview. So, alternatively, when I go to other data sources and specify the odata feed that is set up properly and available, Microsoft says "access forbidden".
Clearly, account credentials aren't being passed correctly. I have read other posts on this forum and have verified that I have the latest Power Query Preview, that I only use lower case letters to sign in, that IE cache is clear. I have repaired,
uninstalled and re-installed Power Query Preview multiple times, with no change in this behavior.
Any ideas?
Neil

Zarar, yes, tried that, and much more.
Even though Power BI is supposed to navigate through firewalls, I believe we are having firewall problems.
I need to ask our network people to open up for Microsoft on this one, but there's no good information out there on the sites/IPs required to make Power BI Preview work.
In addition, the complexity that comes with using domain credentials, Microsoft Account (live) credentials, and Organizational credentials (O365) on the same computer at various times of the day complicates matters.
That said, I can take my machine to my home network and get as far as attempting to connect to the odata feed I set up -- except the data source is on a computer with an internal IP and Power Query cannot resolve the local computer name -- i.e. x.x.local.
So now, I have two questions:
1. What IPs need to be unblocked to make Power BI work?
2. Is there a way to get the odata feed to work when the datasource is on an internal network (the datasource is working and tests okay from Power BI Admin -- but does not resolve the machine name when coming in through Excel via the odata feed from an off-site
location

Visual studio online - Excel power query usage and samples needed

Background
Visual Studio Online does not offer much in the way of reporting, when compared to (onsite) TFS... unless you utilize the REST API functionality.
The Visual Studio Online REST API is fairly extensive, but not very 'reporting' friendly to applications like Microsoft Excel.
Question
Are there any good examples of Microsoft Excel Power Query usage - to acquire and create reports via the Visual Studio Online REST API? I've searched - but surprisingly haven't found anything of substance. It is fairly simple to call a VSO REST
query using Excel Power Query, but not so simple to iterate through the lists within lists, etc... unless you are familiar with 'M language'.

Hi,
Thank you for reaching out to us. I am currently researching to gather more information with regards to your request. I shall revert back to you with an update at the earliest. Sincerely appreciate your patience.

Hi All,
I have tried same thing in different different environment. Different environment mean different azure account and office 365 account. But still the issue persists.
i feel some issue in my office network or in servers. Because couple of days back same thing was working in my private virtual machine in my private network instead of office.
For me i observe a basic problem in this network.
The pop up to provide trust to the app (that come with title "Grant permission to app") comes while i deploy the solution and gets close automatically without clicking trust.
Might be this could be the reason for me ?. because closing of pop up is not providing authentication to my app.
This happens in every server in my office network.
Any suggestions on that. Thanks in advance.

Editing Office 365 Excel Doc in Excel Office 2013

I have an excel document with macros uploading on Office 365. I understand that I can't use the macros in excel online so I want to edit in excel. When I click 'Edit in Excel' the program opens but the actual document doesn't. I am able to download a copy
though. How do I get the document to open?
Thanks

Hi,
Does this only occur to this specific Excel file? or all Excel files?
Let's first test with a simple Excel file without macros, or disable the macros in that specific file, upload it to Cloud, then try again. This will help to narrow down whether the issue is with the macros.
Please feel free to post back with any findings.

Power View in Office 365 vs. Power View in SharePoint

Hi all,
I am trying to find the best method to get PowerView reports into Dynamics AX. So far, I've simply created a form as ActiveX and navigated to the link to the excel file, but this is not desirable. I read that it is possible to have them embedded into Role
Centers/Enterprise Portal, but I need to have PowerView in "SharePoint" mode.
What are the differences between SharePoint mode and Office 365? Is there no way to export the PowerViews to PowerPoint or as Menu Items from Office 365?
Also, any information or tips on integrating PowerViews/Power BI with Dynamics AX would be great!
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Power View comes in two different flavors:
1. Power View as an Excel add-in (free with Excel 2013 Professional Plus)
If you have Office 365 with Power BI enabled, you can create visualizations(Charts etc) in Excel using Power View and publish them to a Power BI site which lets you share, view, and interact with reports. At the time of this posting, there is no way
to export a Power View Report (created in Excel) to Power Point.
2. Power View, as a Reporting Services(SSRS) Add-in for SharePoint Server(Enterprise Edition).
If you don't have Office 365(with Power BI), you can still publish Power View reports(created in Excel) to an on-premise SharePoint site.You can definitely
Export a report from Power View in SharePoint to PowerPoint
Integration with Dynamics AX - There are several options for integration and here is one of them.
1. Use Power Query to Discover all the data you need from Dynamics AX (SQL Server database),
Transform and Mashup the data. Create a data model in Power Pivot and then use Power View to create your visualizations and publish them to either an on-premise SharePoint environment or to a Power BI site in Office 365.
I have a Dynamics AX client and they wanted to use Power View. They have a Data Warehouse built on top of their AX database and an SSAS cube (Multidimensional) on top of their Data Warehouse. Since they don't have an Enterprise instance of SharePoint, we
extracted all the data from the Data Warehouse into a Power Pivot model, then used Power View(the Excel add-in) to create the visualizations.
Please take a look at this technet article
Microsoft Dynamics AX integration with Power BI for Office 365
Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Using Power Query in Excel for Power BI Report with OData Feedfack

I am trying to get the data into Excel Power Query from Dynamics CRM 2013 using OData Feedback.
Every thing works fine but the data that I retrieve in Power Query Editor shows columns as Record and when I expand it by selecting Value option shown it provides me the data in integer format whereas I want the name.
Basically it only provides me the value or id of the field from CRM, How could I obtain the Name field in it.

The documents should load but you won't be able to refresh your data. You should just see what was loaded to the sheet when you previously saved the document. Changes that you make in the iOS version shouldn't overwrite the PQ info and you should be able
to edit the queries and refresh when you load it back into a desktop Excel client. Please let us know if your experience deviates from these expectations.

Office 365 Pro Plus Shared Activation not working or staying activated

Hello,
Environment is one Remote Desktop Server Session Host on 2012 r2 fully updated with a fully updated standard 2012 r2 domain controller. I have four users on Office 365 E3 Plan.
The problem I am having - the activation is not persisting across the user either logging off or opening different Office applications. When I open the Office application I get this error - http://i.imgur.com/3fLdmr7.png . If I click OK, it prompts
me to Activate and then sign in, which I do. This then lets me use Word/Excel etc. If I then close Word, and re-open it I go straight back to the error message.
I followed the instructions here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn782858(v=office.15).aspx and subseqently here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/43419d08-4517-45e8-8cb6-ccec1b8b85bf(v=office.15)#BKMK_ConfigureCmd to install.
As per the guidance here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn782859(v=office.15).aspx when I go to File > Account I can see that it looks like infographic A so that is correct. The SharedComputerLicensing value is in the registry and set
to 1. In my %localappdata%\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Licensing I have four files {GUID}.authString, {GUID}.authString.txt.previous, {GUID}.signingCert, {GUID}.signingCert.txt.previous
I have a tried a full removal and re-install of Office and this made no difference.

Hello. I actually raised a support request to Microsoft about this. It seems from my testing that when using user profile disks in 2012 r2 that shared activation doesn't work. Last update this was with engineering team at MS. Will update when they have
confirmed this is an actual bug.

Office 365 BI vs. SharePoint 2013 on premise BI - are new updates going to O365 only/first?

With some of the more recent blog posts I've seen there seems to be talk of a trend where new fixes/changes/enhancements to PowerView/Power BI, etc... are going to happen in Office 365 but may not be happening for SharePoint on premise.
Does anyone have any more details on this or have they heard similar?
I've seen the Power BI blog talking about new releases and enhancements each month, which I assume SharePoint PowerView is not getting those enhancements?

Thank you that does help clear up a few things.
However, I still don't fully understand some of the "duplication" of things?
For example:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/power-view-explore-visualize-and-present-your-data-HA102835634.aspx?CTT=5&origin=HA104103581
That talks about Power BI :
"Power View has new features, as part of Power BI for Office 365:
Create Power View sheets in Excel and then view them in the Power BI Windows Store app.
View Power View in Excel sheets in your browser, without installing Silverlight. Read about the supported features of the HTML5 version of Power View.
Read the Power BI Getting Started Guide."
Will those same new features be in those bi-monthly SQL Server CU releases?
(that may not be the best example, but on the Power BI blog they talk about various new features/enhancements, etc...)
Perhaps I am just confused by the shared name of Power View in Office 365 and SharePoint?

Power Query online search: Unable to connect to the remote server

This is the error I get after I click add to worksheet. I see th preview of the data. I am in an enterprise behind a proxy if that helps.
[DataSource.Error] OData: Request failed (ConnectFailure): Unable to connect to the remote server
Stephen

OData is a web service and so long as you can access it from your current network context, it'll work. Home, Internet Café, Hotel, Airplane -- doesn't matter. If the data source is private and is on a restricted network (like some sort of private data analysis
source internal to your company), then you will need to VPN into that network before you attempt to refresh your data.
I have noted some basic steps in my blog that might help you setup the basics and verify with a known publically available OData source.

Error in Dashboard "Your Office 365 password is not the same as your Windows password."

I have 4 users using Windows Server 2012 and Office 365 for email. All is going well, but I am now getting the error listed in the title.
When I first set this up, the passwords were the same, and integration worked very well. After the users changed their passwords on the domain, this error started to pop up.
Question: Is there a specific way the users have to change the password to have this sync continue? If they change the password by Ctrl+Alt+Del and choose change password, will this keep it in sync with Office 365?
Thank you for time and answers.

Hi,
àI have 4 users using Windows Server 2012 and Office 365 for email.
Did you mean that had enabled Integrate with Microsoft Office 365 service on the Windows Server 2012 Essentials?
Would you please let me confirm something more?
When changed password and synced to Office 365, there will spend some times. Please check if this error still pop up. Or had disappeared?
Please check if encounter issues when users logon client computer via the new password in the domain environment. Meanwhile, did there any issue occur when users use emails
or sign in office 365 by using the new password?
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
