Prompts for Power BI

Dear community,

My company has just switched over to v8 and we are in the works of switching over from a current rest API to the Power BI connector.

Is there any guide or thread that goes through how to set the prompts for the connector? 
I get a little bit confused as to what needs to be filled in. For example, the prompt asks me to fill in "Entity" and many other dimension parameters - however, our business consists of many, many entities and I would not like to create one data connection for each one of them. Same goes for "Account" and many other fields, none of which I am able to leave blank.

Any advice?

Rasmus,

There is a Power BI connector guide that is available from within the Help Menu of OneStream and searching on Power BI.  It is also available as a PDF file here (https://documentation.onestream.com/1375907/Content/PDFs/PBI_PV8.2.0_SV200_Instructions.pdf).  It outlines what is required for each of the functions available within the connector in Power BI.  Are you looking at the "Get Cube Data" function?
