Power BI

A Power BI Connector is a software component that enables Power BI to connect to and retrieve data from an external source.

Download and Install Power BI directly from the Microsoft Store on your PC or from the Microsoft website.

After installing Power BI, choose LEAP as the data source to integrate with LEAP data.

Power Bl Connectors support a wide range of data sources, including databases (SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle), cloud services (Azure, AWS), Excel files, SharePoint, and more.

The refresh frequency depends on the Power Bl service plan and the specific data source. It can range from daily to more frequent intervals for real-time data.

LEAP data is synchronised into the Power BI platform and is updated every 4 hours.

Troubleshooting may involve checking credentials, network settings, and ensuring the data source is accessible.

Power BI Connectors typically require an internet connection, especially for cloud-based data sources. However, data cached during a refresh can be used offline for viewing reports.

Power BI provides options to securely store and manage credentials. It is recommended to use service accounts and follow best practices for securing sensitive information.
