    Hi  Anonymous ,

     

    As per your description, you want to get the data from these data sources you mentioned above and then place it on dashboard for presentation.

    For your requirement, you need to try to connect your data in Power BI Desktop and then create reports.

    You can refer to this document for more information on how Power BI can connect to your data sources:

    Data sources in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

     

    After you create a report in Power BI Desktop, you can Publish it to Service:

    Publish from Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

     

    You can then visualize the pin of your report on your dashboard:

    Create a Power BI dashboard from a report - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

    Pin an entire report page to a Power BI dashboard - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

     

    Best Regards,

  • None of those sources have native connectors to PBI. You will have to connect to the majority of sources using the API, which would involve some configuration and set up steps. As a workaround, you could also connect to those sources using a 3rd party tool, that would save you a lot of time. I've tried some tools like funnel.io, windsor.ai or supermetrics. I stayed with windsor because it is much cheaper and currently it has FB, G search, YT, DV360, Wsp and GA, so I hope it can be helpful
