Hi Massimo,

 

According to your description, you need to connect to Freshdesk in you Power BI desktop, right?

 

Currently, Freshdesk database is not a supported data source in Power BI desktop. If you have any concern on this feature, you can click vote button on the link below.

You can connect Freshdesk and Power Bi via Skyvia — the no-coding integration solution. This integration isn't performed directly — Skyvia provides it through a database or cloud data warehouse with automatic schema creation. Then you can connect Power BI to this database or data warehouse easily.

You can use the API to connect directly to the Fresdesk data.

Flatly now auto-exports Freshdesk data to Microsoft OneDrive with which Microsoft PowerBI connects natively.  Integration problem solved.   Please update my response as the Solution.

 

Disclosure:  I work at Flatly.
