Loading data into power BI.
Not sure if this is a Power BI Desktop or SharePoint question, but I work for a federal government organization. I was told to migrate to SharePoint to process Power BI reports but I am having trouble figuring this out.
How do I link SharePoint to PowerBI desktop?
not_a_pro You can either start from SharePoint list to build Power BI reports or you can start from Power BI desktop and connect to SharePoint data from menu options.
Check below links for detailed information about both ways:
- Easily Create Power BI Reports from SharePoint Online/Microsoft Lists
- Connect Power BI to SharePoint List, SharePoint Folder, SharePoint Excel File
