Accelo Connection to PowerBI Desktop
Hi, Is there a way to connect Accelo to PowerBI Desktop Directly? We connected it thru PowerBi Service but we can't change the model of the data since its not imported to powerbi desktop, can you help us have the Accelo data imported in PowerbiDesktop. thanks
Hi LouieM - To connect Accelo directly to Power BI Desktop and import the data, you will need to use the Accelo API and Power BI’s capabilities to connect to web data sources.
If Accelo’s API uses OAuth2 for authentication, you might need to set up a custom connector or use a tool like Postman to get the access token and then use it in Power BI
Reference:
Connect to a webpage from Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
