Power BI not retrieving project online timephased data


I have entered work against some tasks in Project Online. However when pulling the OData feed down in Power BI the AssignmentBaselineTimePhased datasets and AssignmentTimephasedDatsets are empty, despite not having any filters applied in Power BI.
