On the Dataverse Connection Setup page in Tell Me, look for Virtual Tables Config and select it.
A pop-up window will appear with information about Virtual Table Configuration like Target Host, Environment Name and Default Company.
If you don't have Default Company set up, or it's not the company you want to be the default one, select Open in Dataverse.
A new tab in your browser will be opened with Power Apps header where you can change the Default Company by looking for it and selecting it, then select Save & Close to close the tab. Then go back to your Business Central tab.
