You need to have your AL development sandbox for this recipe. Once again, this recipe is built around you using a Business Central online sandbox.

You must complete the Enabling basic authentication recipe earlier in this chapter in order to set up your system to authenticate properly. Make sure you have noted the username and web services keys as you'll need those in this recipe.

We will take a break from AL coding for now; however, you will need to have Power BI Desktop installed on your machine in order to complete this recipe. You can download it from https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/desktop.

Note that you do not need to obtain a Power BI Pro account in order to complete this recipe.
