Hi, I'm trying to connect from Power BI to data in the Smartsheet EU region. Every solution I find seems to use the default instance, with no way to configure for use with the Europe instance.

I've already reviewed the following options:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/service-connect-to-smartsheet
http://smartsheet-platform.github.io/odbc-docs/#overview%C2%A0%C2%A0

I'm trying to avoid building out some API solution from scratch. Has anyone used a solution that allows connection to the Europe instance?

You will need to make sure your [Date as DateType] column is formatted as Date. This also assumes your [Date as Text Type] column is always in the same format. (Starts with full 10 digit date)<\/p>

Does your company use Single Sing-On? There were some updates that took affect yesterday. I wonder if maybe that is affecting things since it seems to be an issue with being part of the company's account.<\/p>
