CDS for Apps with the PowerApps Office Add-in

[Geoffreylee]

We have provisioned a new CDS for Apps database and are not able to get it to work with the Microsoft PowerApps Office Add-in. This means there is not connection between the excel workflow and the CDS. We have used the CDS data integration and successfully imported data into the CDS for Apps however this is much different than the publish/refresh option that the add-in uses to allow access to the years of excel business workflows to interface with the CDS. I see in the app that there is an App correlation ID but it can not be edited to connect with the new CDS. It is very important that this connect is maintained so that data can flow back and forth between excel and the CDS.

Hi @Geoffreylee - thanks for your feedback, our team is actively working on the updated version of the Excel add-in to support the lastest Common Data Service updates. We are hoping to have this released in the coming weeks.
