Autotask Data Warehouse Integration
Casey_Harless AutoTask won't be able to assist you, as you will need to build a Tabular model and deploy it to an SSAS (SQL Server Analysis Services) instance in your domain. The AS Connector then points at that SSAS instance.
If you are trying to use the connector - you will need to leverage the additional technologies Visual Studio (SQL Server Data Tools) and have a SQL SSAS instance.
I have been unable to direct connect to AutoTask from Power BI Desktop, so I had to pull the data I wanted into my own database using SSIS (Sql Server Integration Services - also a Visual Studio thing). I did this also so that I can leverage other company information as well. Then I built a tabular model, and deployed to my SSAS instance. Then I connected the AS Connector to my SSAS instance.
That is alot of info, so feel free to ask questions.
TLDR; You can't just hook up the AS Connector to AutoTask. It's not a model, and not in your domain.

Hello, please would you mind providing details of the connector you used to get the data from Autotask via SSIS into a SQL database, I have a similar use case I need to explore, thanks in advance.
