Hi @harsh,

Based on my research, there is a tyGraph content pack which allows us to easily gain deeper insights into your Yammer data. For more information, please refer to this article: tyGraph content pack for Power BI.

Also there is a tyGraph connector in Power BI desktop to get data from Yammer group. See:

Hi @v-qiuyu-msft,

What should be the access key, where to find that ?

Hi @harsh,

You can check 5th steps in the link which mentioned my orignal post.

If you are a Yammer Verified Admin
Your API key is sent to you in an email when your tyGraph account is successfully created. If you can no longer find your key, you can request a new one by sending an email to support@unlimitedviz.com. If you do not yet have a tyGraph account, you can start a trial at http://www.tygraph.com/. 

If you are not a Yammer Verified Admin

The tyGraph content pack requires a tyGraph account created by a Yammer verified administrator. Once created, supplemental keys can be issued to users within the same organization. If your verified admin has not yet created a tyGraph account, contact them to have them do so. If they have, you can request a key by sending an email to support@unlimitedviz.com.

Thanks @v-qiuyu-msft, is TYGraph paid ? I didn't move ahead with that approach since its trial .

And second reason I 'm skipping  because my report data comes from Azure blob storage where in csv file is generated from CRM dynamics and other one I need to get data from Yammer and upload(csv file) in the same location, if I won't do this way then my schedule refresh won't work since the dataset should be from come location.

I 'm planning to get the yammer data in the form of csv file using C# do you know how to do that ?

Hi @harsh,

Power BI free users can also connect to the tyGraph content pack.

Based on my research, we can export the Yammer data into .CSV files follow this article. Then create a report in desktop connect to those .csv files.
