HubSpot connector not seen by Power BI Desktop #14

Open djmonzyk opened 4 years ago

djmonzyk commented 4 years ago

I followed the instructions to create the folder, place the HubSpot connector in, and set the Security settings as instructed. When starting I do not see any HubSpot option available in Online Services. I installed Power BI from the Microsoft Store which is now the standard way of doing so. Is this compatible? Thanks!

@djmonzyk Why don't you try this first in the Desktop version of Power BI? You can download it from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=58494

I downloaded the Desktop version of the app from the link provided. I changed the security settings as instructed, loaded the plugin into the specified folder, but I'm never presented with a security warning on the start of Power BI and I see no connector available for HubSpot.

ranmax123 commented 4 years ago

that's quite unfortunate. Couple of things.

  1. Security warning won't be presented after you have changed the settings
  2. Can you double check the folder where you have copied the .mez file?
  3. It should be current user's my documents folder

If this doesn't work, send me an email to debug. My email id in my profile. thanks.

I had a problem similar @djmonzyk, I'm using virtual machine, and I thought this could be causing the problem. So I placed the .mez file on the local machine, same folder structure and works.

RE: Step 3 in the instructions: I believe the instructions should be updated to reflect the folder name as Power BI Desktop, not Microsoft Power BI Desktop (remove the beginning Microsoft)

Matt,

My CData HubSpot connector is located under Other, just past the OLE DB connector.

I'm having the same issue. Running the latest release of Power BI Desktop as of today, tried both [Documents]\Power BI Desktop\Custom Connectors (what MS's documentation says) and [Documents]\Microsoft Power BI Desktop\Custom Connectors (what this plugin's documentation says), neither results in the HubSpot connector showing in Power BI Desktop. Security settings have been changed as the instructions direct.

Tlanza89,

Did you ever get the HubSpot connector to work?

I'm having similar problems as @djmonzyk https://github.com/djmonzyk and @recofka https://github.com/recofka . I followed the instructions and I'm not seeing the hubspot connector show up in Power BI desktop. I even changed the folder name per @jhauff77060 https://github.com/jhauff77060 but it still is not working for me.

@ranmax123 I am having the same issue: I cannot find the HubSpot connector even though I have followed the steps and tried renaming the folder to "Bower BI Desktop" instead of "Microsoft Power BI Desktop". Is there anything you can suggest to fix this? Thanks

Hi

I had the problem previously, but now I can fix the problem and it is working good.

I did the following steps.

Create Folder in [Documents]\Power BI Desktop\Custom Connectors (Not "Microsoft Power BI Desktop") Refer to: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-connector-extensibility#data-extension-security

Make sure that you download from the download page. You cannot do "Right Click - Save As/Save Link As". You must click "download button" Link here: https://github.com/ranmax123/powerbi-custom-connectors/blob/master/HubSpot/build/HubSpot.mez

If above steps are not working, uninstall and install PowerBI again from below Link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=58494

@ranmax123 , I have tried all variants here. Followed the guide, and also tried with both 32 bits and 64 bit Desktop version. Still no data source.

I solved it. Seems like my company profile had set up that my documents folder should be in OneDrive. I opened regedit (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders) to see where my Personal folder was at image

Then I created folder PowerBI Desktop/Custom Connectors, and moved the .mez file over there.

Download, yes, not right click/save. Thanks. Fixed my problem.

This did solve it for me, confusing without checking it first. Thanks for the tip.
