Connect SharePoint Custom List Data with Power BI using O Data

 

http://<sitename>/pwa/site/_api/Projectdata

The above-given link helps me to connect project online complete data with Power BI.

Issue:

I am unable to find the Custom list of Project Online using the above-given link.

I am able to access Issues and Risk. But the custom lists are not available in the data.

 

Looking forward to every one response!

Hi @muneebch041 ,

Power BI - Get Data From SharePoint List / Library

Get SharePoint List/Library Using OData Feed

The Open Data Protocol (OData) is a data access protocol for the web.
  • OData provides a uniform way to query and manipulates datasets through CRUD operations (create, read, update, and delete).
  • OData defines an abstract data model and a protocol that let the client access the information exposed by SharePoint. 

Steps

  • Open Power BI Desktop and at Home Tab, click on Get Data > OData Feed.
  • Type the OData Feed URL for the SharePoint "http://siteurl/_vti_bin/listdata.svc" and click Connect. 

    • ListData.svc provides a way of getting information from a list using REST.

  • In Navigator dialog, select the required list and click Load.
  • You should now find the list fields in Fields section, and you should be ready to build your report from SharePoint list items.
