[Solved]Error while code check-in in visual studio ‘Could not find file….’
Hi Folks,
Here is a quick trick. I was trying to check-in a few objects in a solution and encounter a strange error.
Error:
Could not find file 'C:\Users\Adminbefabcsd4\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\<MySolution>\<MyProject>\<MySolution>.btproj
Possible reason: If you are trying to check-in your object along with the solution file, you might get this error.
Possible solution: I cannot say it a permanent fix as I didn't find any technical reason for this, but below fix worked for me.
If you didn't make any changes in the solution itself, like adding/deleting a file, you should not include solution file in included changes. Remove solution file and check-in only object which you actually made changes.
Cheers!!!

Use Microsoft Flow to: Copy a Qualified Lead’s Notes to the new Opportunity
The qualification or disqualification of a Lead in Dynamics 365 is a human triggered event that kicks off a predefined process. That process will convert the Lead to a new Contact and Account record and also create an Opportunity that is associated with the Contact and Account. There will also be a link back to the originating lead in the Opportunity record.
But what happens to important pieces of information that were recorded in the CRM user’s conversations with the Lead? Absolutely nothing! They stay with the Lead record and remain several clicks away from the Opportunity record and are basically out of sight and out of mind.
I started thinking about how to solve this challenge with Microsoft Flow after seeing a post on the CRMUG Community support forum.
Here is what I have come up with as one approach to copy the Notes and attachments to the Opportunity record automatically. You could also approach it differently by changing the regarding on the Notes from the Lead record to the new Opportunity record. Modify it to fit the way your company wants it to work.
Here is a big picture of what the Flow looks like. (if it looks a little scrunched on your screen, click on it to get a bigger view):
Let’s break down each step in the Flow:
Step 1– Listen for the creation of a new Opportunity and then get all the field data from the Opportunity record. We will need some of that info in later steps.
Step 2– Check to see if the Opportunity was created as a result of the Automated Lead Qualification workflow. We do this by checking to see if the attribute field on the Opportunity record has any data in the Originating Lead Lookup field (look for this in the Marketing section of the Opportunity form)
Step 3– If it resolves to False, it means the lookup field is not empty, ie it came from a Lead, so then go down the Yes path. If it didn’t come from a Lead conversion we don’t need to do anything so we don’t need any steps for the No result.
Step 4– Now lets get all the Notes for the Lead record and then loop through them using the Apply to Each function to make a Copy of the Lead Note to a New Note along with the attachment, if any. And set the regarding to the new Opportunity.
There you go. The takeaway is the List and Apply to Each Actions in Microsoft Flow is the greatest thing to happen for us in the Dynamics 365 world.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Project Management Functionality
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is an all-in-one business management solution that’s easy to use and adapt, helping you connect your business and make smarter decisions. Built on functionality within Microsoft Dynamics NAV and adaptable to extend business applications to other Microsoft Cloud Services such as Office 365, Microsoft Flow, Power BI and PowerApps; Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Solution can grow as your business requirements change while taking advantage of the latest technology.
In Business Central, you can perform common project management tasks, such as configuring a job and scheduling a resource, as well as providing the information needed to manage budgets and monitor progress. You can track machine and employee hours on the project by using time sheets.
Just like Microsoft Dynamics NAV, this next generation of NAV allows to select different roles for what function the user preforms. In the “project manager” role, you have a good overview, not only of individual jobs, but also of the allocation of employees, machinery and other resources being used in all projects.
Customers that select Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Versions have a choice of either “Essentials” or “Premium”, in addition to either a Cloud ERP or On-Premise Deployment. With either deployment or either version, Business Central has robust Project Management Capabilities to precisely plans and track customer projects with functionality such as:
Resources: Keep track of resources and prices. Register and sell resources, combine related resources into one resource group, or track individual resources. Divide resources into labor and equipment and allocate resources to a specific job in a time schedule.
Time Sheets: Time Sheet is a simple and flexible solution for time registration with manager approval. Time Sheet provides integration to the Service, Jobs, and Basic Resources modules.
Capacity Management: Plan capacity and sales, and manage usage statistics and profitability of resources. Create your plan in a calendar system with the required level of detail and for the period of time that you need. Also monitor resource usage and get a complete overview of your capacity for each resource with information about availability and planned costs on orders and quotes.
Multiple Costs: Manage alternative costs for resources and resource groups. The costs can be fixed or based on an additional percentage or an additional fixed charge. Define as many work types as you need.
Jobs: Keep track of usage on jobs and data for invoicing the customer. Manage both fixed-price jobs and time-and-materials jobs.

What to know about updates to the Microsoft P-Seller Community
You may have heard about the $1.7 trillion total US market opportunity open to Microsoft and our partners through digital transformation driven by Intelligent Cloud and Intelligent Edge. We’re proud of the fact that for every $1 of revenue Microsoft earns, our partner community earns between $8 and $12. That means roughly $1.5 trillion of that is our partner’s opportunity! It’s time to mobilize in a big way here—our refreshed P-Seller Community is the way that, together, we can do that.
Our P-Seller community has evolved to support many of the roles involved in a typical cloud solution opportunity—including Solution Sales Professionals (P-SSP), Technical Solution Professionals (P-TSP), Cloud Solution Architects (P-CSA), and Customer Success Managers (P-CSM). As CTO for the US Commercial Partner organization, I’m focused on the two technical roles: P-TSP and P-CSA.
You can check out more details on recent updates to the P-Seller Community on the P-Seller Community page, but in the meantime, here are some of the key things to know about the P-Seller Community:
Understanding the role of P-TSPs and P-CSAs
P-TSP (partner technical sales specialist) and P-CSA (Cloud Solution Architects) are key resources in cloud transformation. These resources are responsible for driving pre-sales technical support and deployment of Azure, and enable our customers to develop, deploy, and see results. Typically, these roles are engaged to lead assessments, proof of concepts, and migration to help customers understand how they can get the most value from the cloud.
How to leverage MTCs as delivery venues
Microsoft Technology Centers (MTC) are hubs to showcase solutions and guide customers on their digital transformation. Partners can schedule these events (usually as a half-day or full-day) to exhibit their technologies and solutions, and to encourage customers to sign up for existing events hosted by fellow partners. Work with your PDM/PTS to take advantage of the MTC.
OCP Technical Team enablement and support
Your US One Commercial Partner Technical Enablement team is here to help with training and best practices for most sales motion call to action engagements. Work with your Partner Technical Strategist to discuss the best enablement plan for your organization and ensure P-Seller readiness is included. To sharpen your organization’s technical skills with training on Azure competitive differentiators, we recommend having your P-TSPs participate in the free Azure Sales Fundamentals training.
P-Seller Finder Tool
We’ve developed an internal mobile app, called P-Seller Finder Tool, to facilitate Microsoft field (and inside) salespeople in finding and requesting P-Sellers to engage on qualified opportunities. All registered P-Sellers who can deliver specific sales motion engagements are discoverable by geography and industry. Sellers can easily submit a request to the selected P-Sellers to support the engagement.
The simple truth is that Microsoft is dependent on our partners to achieve the reach and breadth of IP and Professional Services expertise required in this new era of digital transformation. These opportunities go on to become mutual wins with product and services revenue for both companies. The P-Seller Community is where we turn to coordinate and execute partner engagement into our opportunities—and that community start with you.
Scott Emigh is the Chief Technology Officer for Microsoft’s US One Commercial Partner (OCP) organization. With an extensive background in tech and solution sales, Scott leads a national team of Solution Architects, Evangelists, and Strategists all focused on developing and enabling our US partner ecosystem – ISVs, System Integrators, Managed Hosters, and Volume Channel. Our mission at Microsoft remains steadfast – to empower every organization on the planet to achieve more. Our partner ecosystem is at the forefront of bringing this powerful mission to life. OCP will work to transform ourpartner ecosystem and simplify the programs and investment structure for our partners to drive growth and profitability. We will provide the programs, tools, and resources you need to build and sustain a profitable, successful cloud business.

Picklist (optionset) label issue on Power BI and Dynamics 365 integration
Considering the scenario that Power BI is retrieving info from Dynamics 365 (online), when picklist (optionset) fields are fetched, only the value for each option is retrieved and label is not. This behavior is considered by design. There are a bunch of ways to workaround it.
On this article we will approach a method used during a project inside the Kepler University program, Kigali, Rwanda, which belongs to the Microsoft MySkills4Afrika volunteer program.
Main focus of the project: empower the University with Power BI in order to get valuable insights from Dynamics 365/OnerWorld Student Information System (SIS) solution.
In summary:
1) Identify the reference (value: label) for each picklist (optionset) entry (D365)
2) Create a table to store the optionset’s references (Power BI)
3) Merge queries (Power BI)
(1) Identify the reference value: label for each picklist (optionset) entry
To retrieve this info, as suggestion, you can use the Metadata Browser solution.
Download and installation details here.
After install it, go to Settings > Solutions > MetadataBrowser solution > Open Entity Metadata Browser
Select Contact as entity and localize the optionset field gendercode from Attributes section (tip: use Text Search at the top).
From the right pane side, navigate to OptionSet option and click on the Get Options button.
(2) Create a query to store the optionset’s references
Open Power BI Desktop (pre-requirement that Contact table is already synchronized) and navigate to Edit Queries (ribbon bar) > Edit Queries.
Create a new blank query.
Insert the query definition, such as:
=#table({"value","label"},{{1,"Male"},{2,"Female"}})
=#table({"value","label"},{{<id>,"<text>"},{<id>,"<text>"},...,{<id-n>,"<text-n>"}})
Note: if you would like to consider null entries, use a reference such as {null, “Blank”}.
As suggestion, rename the recent query for a more meaningful name.
(3) Merge queries (Power BI)
Now, we need merge the original query (contacts) and new query (contacts-gendercodelabel), focusing on the common column between them (value).
From right pane, select the original table (contacts) and navigate to Home ribbon > Merge Queries > Merge Queries.
Select the new table (contacts-gendercodelabel).
Make sure to select the common column between the tables (gendercode/value) and keep the Join Kind option as Left Outer (all from first, matching from second).
Now, the column has been added to original table (contact) with the proper value:label entries.
Select the new column added to the query and check the label.
As suggestion, rename the recent column for a more meaningful name.
At end, we have a column with the proper labels to use into the visualizations.
