Content Pack not available in Desktop?

We are looking to use the Xero content pack via the Desktop application, but it appears to only be visible via the web-based service.   It is simply not listed in the desktop supported data sources...

    raldred they are called data connectors. content packs are only for power bi service and are of two types built-in and organisational. you can read about them more over here.

raldred that is right. content pack are not available within power bi desktop. they can only be created and accessed in power bi service. if you want to use power bi desktop may be you can try other connectors such as Web.

ankitpatira - thank you for your response.

 

However, in the desktop version I can see 'online services' such as SharePoint, Facebook, Salesforce, GitHub, MailChimp etc... surely they are content packs?

 

Regards,

 

Ryan.
