How do I automatically have a GUID in my field?

Usecase I am creating a Model driven app, with a Virtual Table connected to SQL. In my SQL DB I have an external primary key field. How do I get an automatic GUID? The PowerFX code GUID() is not supported on the form. So I tried to do something on the ribbon, set the field, With({I:Last(Werknems).TransactionID},Notify( I, NotificationType.Information)); Patch( Werknems, Defaults(Werknems), //Row, {TransactionID:GUID() } ) However, since my field is mandatory, and it tries to save before it runs this (of course) it was saying the field wasnt filled in. So this didnt work.

Connecting to Virtual Tables in PowerBI

Connecting to Virtual Tables in PowerBI When I wanted to connect to the virtual table, my first instinct was to use the Dataverse connector since they are virtual tables, on Dataverse. Opening up PowerBI, connecting to Dataverse, there were no virtual tables visible. Of course, the work around would be to connect to the source directly, but I did want to see if I could make it work. Virtual tables are only available in PowerBI through the Common Data Service (Legacy) connector. This connector is available for:
