1. Re: OData feed that works for PowerBI does not work for Tableau. "The specified object does not exist"

Hello Nick
This was posted last month. Did you find a solution or do you still need assistance? Tableau supports oData through v4 but with some noted limitations from the documentation:: OData - Tableau
OData connector support
- The OData connector supports only extracts, which means that some OData V4 functionality is not supported, for example, interactive query arguments such as
$expand
or$select
. - The OData connector doesn't support browsing OData service documents.
What version of Tableau were you using?
Regards
Patrick

2. Re: OData feed that works for PowerBI does not work for Tableau. "The specified object does not exist"
Nick Raphael Jan 23, 2019 4:14 PM (in response to Patrick A Van Der Hyde)Sorry, I meant to give an update on this. It turns out that Tableau is opinionated on the url of the metadata. I assumed incorrectly that it would simply use the url in the @odata.context returned in the data. That's what PowerBI does. Tableau seems to ignore that property and makes a call to the root and assumes there is a metadata endpoint at that level. Once I redid my routing to handle this I got it working.
Thanks
