Power BI Quick-book Content pack

Hi, 

 

I am working on Financial data set. My client wants to use data from quickbook and also data from other sources. So, Is there a way to download .pbix file from PowerBI Service? or Is there a way to get the defination of measures used in the content pack, partuicularly measures in General Ledger?

 

Thank you.

    Dave1,

    You can connect to QuickBook PBIT file in Power BI Desktop, you can get measure definitions there and you are able to import data from other sources in the PBIX file.

      Hi Lydia, Do you still have the quickbook pbit file? It looks like the link has expired.

    Yes, there is a Preview feature for downloading a PBIX file from the Service. Open a report and then click File and you should have an option to download a PBIX file.

      Greg_Deckler Thank you. In my case, the option is greyed out. Is there something in the setting I have to enable in order to activate the preview option?

        Hmm, do you have a Pro license? It might not work without that or it may not work with third-party content packs or some third-party content packs. Let me do some checking.
