Preparing XLCubedWeb

As PowerBI and XLCubedWeb will be hosted on different servers you need to enable cross-domain access (CORS) on XLCubedWeb, this will allow PowerBI to intergrate correctly with XLCubedWeb.

Set Handler order

In IIS (Internet Information Server) Manger on the XLCubedWeb server, go to the XLCubedWeb Application and "Handler Mappings":

Click "View Ordered list":

You need to ensure "OPTIONSVerbHandler" appears above all the *.svc entires:

Please note: after changing the order please go back to "Unordered List" and then "Ordered List" to ensure it is in the correct place, you may need to do this a few times to ensure it saves.
