    Hi ldrivinghawk,

     

    Currently, Power BI desktop doesn't provide built-in Sendgrid connector. You can download Sendgrid template files and .m file from here:

     

    - Install the latest PBI Desktop 
    - Create a folder called Extensions under: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Desktop\bin 
    - Copy the .m file to that folder 
    - Set these 2 environment variables in Windows: 
       PQ_EnableExtensionDeveloper = true 
       PQ_ExtensionDirectory = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Desktop\bin\Extensions 
    - Open the PBIT file

     

    Best Regards,
    Qiuyun Yu

Hi

I tried the solution that you posted and was unable to download any SendGrid data.  I assume that I have to modify the .m file to enter my SendGrid credentials or should the PowerBI file be asking me to provide these.

 

Thanks in advance.
