Use Microsoft Graph API as data source
- 7 years ago
The Microsoft Graph implements the OAuth 2.0 authentication flow and therefore, to access it with Power BI, you'll need to create a custom data connector. Here's a tutorial that walks step-by-step on how to create a custom data connector with OAuth 2.0 to the Microsoft Graph in Power BI.
I found a way to do this which involves connecting to Microsoft Graph using an Azure web application without having to muck about with Visual Studio. I hope it's helpful to others too:
This should be the accepted answer. Extremely thorough tutorial that allows Power Query (Power BI, Excel, etc.) to interact with the Microsoft Graph API. Bravo!
(Now, all it needs is a way to decrypt that client secret. )

Except that it doesn't work for Delegated Permissions, which is what you need to be able to read the Microsoft ToDo data.
