Higher education institutions using Power BI?

Hi adam-townsend,

When you said you wanted to develop reports in Power BI, would you please tell us which data source you want to connect to and retrieve data? Currently, in Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service, supported data sources type are listed in below links:

Also based on my research, there is a sample Power BI Higher Education Analytics solution shows student persistence, retention, and graduation patterns. You can take a look: Higher Education Analytics using Power BI #1: Retention.

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Best Regards,
