Hi yizhon,

In addition, here is a good article about how to use Power BI to get GitHub Reports for your reference.

    That's not very helpful.  I am aware of the connector, but decided to use the app since that already has some calculation I need.  What is the reason to ask users to guess the calculation and reproduce?

        Where can I leave a request for getting the pbit file?  This seems like a huge limitation and truly frustrating customer experience.
