Hi THEG72,

What is the result when you enter http://localhost:8080/AccountRight/91a5c87e-884f-42f5-b4d5-0f924164e116/Account/?api-version=v2&format=json in "Get Data->Web" entry in Power BI Desktop? 


In Power BI Desktop, there is no built-in connector for MYOB accounting, you can submit an idea in this forum about this issue.

Moreover, as far as I know, the new 20xx versions of MYOB Accounting no longer have ODBC, you are not able to create DSN for MYOB Accounting and connect to the ODBC data source in Power BI Desktop.

Regards,
Lydia Zhang

HI Anonymous

 

Yes the new version uses an SQL database and has an API to connect to..but i havent seen any instructions on how this works..

 

The older version uses a 32bit ODBC driver which i used to connect in Excel and extract tables...Power BI doesnt do 32bit ODBC does it?

 

WHen i enter the connection into Power bi i get the following:

I am not sure how i can retreieve the items in the List...as its not listing the tables as such...But i can see records

 

Is there a different method to access the files stored as json format?
