Power BI Helper External Tool
Hi all,
i just discovered the Power BI Helper Tool from Radacad ->
As the features are relly helpful, I am thinking about the security aspect.
Does anyone has any experience with the tool. It seems to work offline, but there is a option to register the Poer BI Helper to your tenant...what means data will be processed from and to the Power BI Helper. Not sure if that is a security issue.
thanks for the help!
