Hi @Rashid_Ali ,

Please refer to this link:GitHub - mandevuMan/REDCap_PowerBI_Connector

This is a custom data connector which you can use in Power BI to connect to your REDCap installation. The connector is able to get data from all types of REDCap projects including longitudinal and projects with repeat instruments.
You must pass the following parameters when connecting Power BI to REDCap

• REDCap URL
• Project API Token
• Raw or Label data format
• Raw or Label headers
• Export Checkbox Labels
• Export Survey Fields
• Export Data Access Groups

Optional parameters you may pass are

• Fields
• Forms
• Events

Best regards,

Hi, 

I have multiple REDcap surveys that I wish to display in a PowerBi dashboard. Custom connectors have been created but there are issues with refreshing of the data and currently we are having to download each survey and run the dashboard from the desktop location. Can someone assist in a relatively step by step of video manner to work through the problem being experienced? Thank you
