Using Power BI to create analytics for a SharePoint Events list

Hi

New to Power BI. I have a SharePoint Events list and need to produce an analytics report on usage. I was thinking that Power BI would be a good fit. However unlike most SP lists there isn't the option to link it into Power BI and produce a report. 

Is Power BI a good fit and how would I start?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You can create a report on a SharePoint list in Power BI Desktop and then publish the report to the service. Once published, you can sign in to Power BI Service, find the report in your workspace, and generate a usage metrics report.

 

Please refer to the following document for more information.

Create a report on a SharePoint List in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Publish from Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
