HI

What data sources are available within Power BI?

Can I add more? - what connectors are available (Eg API, ODBC, other?)

Thanks

Here are the data sources available for automatic refresh, is this what you are looking for?

Otherwise, look at Excel or Power BI Desktop and look at what is available, if you can get it into those tools and into your data model, you can upload it to Power BI.

@Anonymous This is one of the frequent question asked. Find the list of data sources available in this article and here. Yes you can connect and mash up multiple data sources in Power BI and schedule for refresh
