Which is the service connection that I should choose for a power BI connection with Azure DevOps?
The official extension that is provided from Microsoft can be located on the below link.

It seems that is the one you choose from the dropdown. There are other extensions also that have been developed by community members and you could also choose one of them depending on your needs.

From the point of view of an team admin and user.
Particularly interested in planning tools and boards.
There is no such documentation. However, you can compare some features on this page: Azure DevOps Feature Timeline.
Additionally, Azure DevOps Service continually gets new features. To get new features on Azure DevOps Server, you have to update it.
Example of the last changes on the server on service:
I am following along the tutorial with SmartHotel360 and trying to set it up. In the README.md, it says 'In VSTS, navigate to Services by clicking on the gear icon...' and this is to create a new service endpoint. Where is this done? What is VSTS? Visual Studio Team Server? Do I first make a branch of the SmartHotel360 and open this in Visual Studio? What if I am using one email account to access the code where the tasks are assigned and another email to complete the courses? Does this make a difference?
I guess my question is, where is this VSTS? Is this where I view the SmartHotel360 code?
Azure DevOps Services was formerly named Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) -- rebranded as Azure DevOps in 2018. So the tutorial you followed should be before 2018.
The github README.md about SmartHotel360(like this) are retired, archived, and no longer supported. For the latest sample references please visit: https://aka.ms/tailwindtraders & https://aka.ms/rpsls
To interact with Azure, you'll need to create a Service Endpoint in Azure DevOps. This endpoint includes the authentication information required to deploy to Azure. This document gives a guide to configure Service Endpoint in Azure DevOps, please refer to it.
We have TFS 2019 installed on premise, want to create PowerBI reports based on analytics Views that are already predefined in TFS. Selecting GetData in PowerBI yields a login screen with collection URL and Team Project. We entered TFS sever name in URL connection and the Team Project respectively, getting an error "invalid account". Prior to this PowerBI asked for Login, logged in with my microsoft user. Can u please advise how to connect Power BI to a TFS on premise, we didn't find helpful material searching for it on the internet. Thanks in advance.

Assuming you have Power BI Desktop in MachineA. Now you need to make sure:
1.The Azure Devops Server is running and you can login the web portal of Azure Devops Server(once called TFS) in MachineA's browser:
2.The Analytics View option is enabled and you have access to view/edit them:
3.In Power BI Desktop: For on-premise Azure Devops Server, the Collection Url shoule be the team collection url instead of simple ServerName or OrgName:
The Team Project name is one of your project name. For me I have Project ForTest in organization Test. And my full url of the project is: http://xxx/Test/ForTest/. So I enter http://xxx/Test/ for Collection Url and ForTest(simple name of team project !!) for Team Project, then it works well to connect to the server:
Ps: I use Azure Devops Server 2019 Update1(1.1) and latest Power BI Desktop downloaded from Microsoft Store.
Hope my steps make some help for you :)
When the login window appears which asking for Account Name to connect TFS, you need to write only name of the account (beginning name of visualtstudio.com) and write specific project name or * if you want to get data for all existing projects.
Eventually what worked was full URL of the collection in the first field and name of team proejct in the second field.
I want to show analytics using power bi desktop from my azure devops server which is deployed on-premises but unable to connect while the error shows analytics extension is not available for on-premises server of devops. I also found the Odata endpoint method but is it possible to do it using connector? Please suggest.
Error i am getting as follows
When i go the provided link, i am unable to download analytics extension as 'Get it free' link is disabled.
Analytics is now available in Azure DevOps Server 2019. The latest version of Power BI has a new connector called "Azure DevOps Server" which supports Analytics Views.
Check the following link for more details:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/report/powerbi/data-connector-connect?view=azure-devops
Your error has indicated the issue, you have to install Analytics extension in your Azure DevOps server:

Finally i did research and found the solution as Analytics extension can only be downloaded using the DevOps extension section and then it worked for me.
I have some data present on Azure-DevOps which is constantly updated. To get the updated data, I have to create a dashboard which I do through power BI. The problem with power BI is that I'm unable to share the created dashboard with the rest of my colleagues due to the unavailability of Power BI at the enterprise level. At the enterprise level, we have access to MicroStrategy but it doesn't provide a connection to Azure-DevOps. Hence, through the Power BI dashboard, I am forced to create an excel file which I have to refresh and then feed to MicroStrategy so that I can get a dashboard on MicroStrategy.
Is there a way I can connect MicroStrategy to Azure-DevOps or somehow eliminate the manual work involved?
How can I make a connection between Azure-Dev Ops and microstrategy?
For this issue , I am afraid that it is currently not supported to connect azure devops with microstrategy . I didn't find any way to do this .
You could submit a feature request in our Develop Community site. Our PM and product team will kindly review your suggestion. Sorry for any inconvenience.
At present, there seems to be no better way except using Excel Services to pull data from the azure devops data warehouse to microstrategy. This is similar to create Excel based charts and host them on SharePoint sites.
You can refer to this Displaying Excel Reports on SharePoint sites will continue to work part of the docs.
