Please extend the Power BI Business Central connector to also let us connect to a sandbox instance?

That way, when developing reports, you can use sandbox data and when the report is finished you can change the connection to a live environment.

Using the ODATA connector it's simple, using the BC-connector I don't see any way to connect to a sandbox instance.

It is essential and will save a lot of time having this ability

I think it is essential to be able to connect to a sandbox environment so that testing can be done. I have seen Power BI impacting performance in Business Central as well as on-premises implementations so I feel that it should be possible to test in the sandbox before deploying to production.

If I am not mistaken MS is planning to bring the option of having multiple production environments within a single BC tenant. Would be great if we get the option to select the environment we want to connect.

And if it could work with OnPrem instances and instances in docker it would be great too...
