Need Surveymonkey account key to automate

Hello all,

Does anyone know where i can find this? And what privacy settings should i be using?

 

Thanks,

 

JID

You'll need to get the account key by logging in to your survey monkey account. Not sure if this helps: https://help.surveymonkey.com/articles/en_US/kb/Microsoft-Power-BI-Integration I don't use survey monkey, so can't be more specific on that one.

 

For privacy settings, you can choose whatever you want, but Power BI always asks this when you combine different data sources, choosing ignore is the fastest refresh, choosing organizational or private marks it as more confidential/secure: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/desktop-privacy-levels
