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 ,

    You can refer the following links to get it:

    Power BI with SharePoint data: The Ultimate Guide

    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.

      Thank you for providing your valuable feedback.
