    Currently there really aren't a lot of options for this but I would expect that to change sooner rather than later.

    Power Apps can save its data in SharePoint can't it?  Could you connect to that data via Power BI?

    Hi ConstMoss,

     

    After consulting a professional, I realized PowerApp is mainly for programming a software. The data is from SQL Server, workbook, etc. So it's easy to connect to the data source directly from Power BI. 

     

    Best Regards!

        Hi ConstMoss,

         

        According to my test, there are many data sources of PowerApps. If they are databases, we can connect to them easily. If they are Common Data Service, we can use the connector of Power BI, which is under preview by now. To be honest, I have no idea about the details of PowerApps. If you any detailed questions about PowerApps, please visit PowerApps-Community for professional support.
