Hi, Readers.
Today I want to discuss how to setup Jet Reports add-in in Business Central Cloud.
First of all, let us look at what are Jet Reports.
Advanced Operational and Financial Reporting Inside of Excel.
Jet Reports delivers a fast, accurate business reporting solution built for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central that gives you the flexibility to create any report you need directly inside of Excel. Drag and drop data from any table to quickly build everything from simple financials to advanced operational reports that can be refreshed real-time, on-demand, with the click of a button. Access, share, and organize reports on the web to have the accurate answers you need from anywhere.

Note: This extension connects Jet Reports to Dynamics 365 Business Central and requires you to already have an active Jet Reports license. To obtain or inquire about a license in order to use this extension, please contact us.
Create A Business Central (Public Cloud Web Services) Data Source
If you have Designers License
I am very sorry, I currently do not have Designers license to test, so the following step is excerpted from Jet Global.
1. From within Excel, go to the Jet ribbon and open your Data Source Settings.
2. Click Add on the Data Source Settings tool bar.
In the Add Data Source dialog, give your data source a unique and descriptive name and then choose Dynamics 365 Business Central from the Database Type pull-down list.
3. When prompted, select the account you wish to use to connect to your Business Central data. If prompted, provide the password.
4. Once the connection is made, the specified User name will be listed on the Authentication tab
5. Click Test Connection to test your connection to the database
6. If you want your Business Central data source to be your primary data source, click Set as Default.
7. Click OK and your new Dynamics 365 Business Central data source is ready to be used in Jet Reports.
If you only have Trial License
1. From within Excel, go to the Jet ribbon and open your Data Source Settings.
2. If you do not have Designers License, you can not see Add on the Data Source Settings tool bar. So we can use Web service to access Business Central, click Data Source Type -> Dynamics NAV 2013 to 2018 (Web Services)
3. Select Access Control Service authentication, and enter UserName and Web service access key.
In Business Central
Note: Web Service Access Keys (Basic Auth) for SaaS will be Removed with Business Central 2022 release wave 1.
For Detail: Link
4. Enter the Web service information.
You can open any Web Service on your browser to get the information.

For example: v2.0/d8f36038-1f93-4543-affc-5dc92b6ee871/Production/
