RE: connect to www.xero.com
Would be a very cool and an essential feature to have.
RE: connect to www.xero.com
Please allow a direct connection with Xero in the Desktop version . This will help a lot many clients that has a small business.
RE: connect to www.xero.com
There are connectors with PowerBI currently per database/dataset, i.e. Xero company. Most of us use the same Xero log in to access multiple companies that we would need to have consolidated/combined view using live data and be able to select of de-select tracking categories or projects. There are a lot of companies it seems that provide consolidating connectors for PowerBi and Xero. If it is so easy to do why cant PowerBi provide it as part of the subscription? This would resolve a lot of reporting issues that we have with reporting. The last bit would ne to bring in Xero Projects (additional dimension) into the dataset as they are seem to be missing and cant be reported on out of PowerBI as only 2 tracking categories are available.
RE: connect to www.xero.com
Yes please, looking to connect to Xero using Power BI. This would be very useful.
RE: connect to www.xero.com
Agreed!
RE: connect to www.xero.com
Firstly I'm trying to connect Xero to PowerBI Desktop - for which it appears there is no immediate or simple solution. I see it has been suggested MANY times by PowerBI advocates (in the forum and online) - and it truly IS a connection that I believe is essential in this day and age. Xero is lauded by even the ATO, so it seems a no brainer to think that a connection should be in the existing list in PowerBI.
so I tried 'Secondly' (my plan B) - Managing to connect online PowerBI to the Xero App which was fine, showing an example of a lovely dashboard from basically a 'test set of info', however when I select to connect to 'my' data in xero - absolutely NOTHING happens.
I am REALLY desperate to provide my Employer with a successful result 'either way' - as I convinced him to join up to xero instead of other Accounting Packages that could have offered him similar services that he required and be automatically connected to PowerBI.
SO frustrating - if anyone can assist I'd be ever so grateful.
Cheers

RE: connect to www.xero.com
this is must for small biz which don't need the extra expense of a 3rd party app.
RE: connect to www.xero.com
We have so many clients ask us for this & they're all so surprised that it doesn't exist. The 3rd party connectors are OK but they're expensive. It'd be so much better if there was a direct connection from withing Power BI Desktop ... not just the Service.

Hi All, I’m trying to drum up more interest in this excellent idea. Please re-share this on social media and get Xero’s attention https://www.linkedin.com/posts/wynhopkins_powerquery-activity-6676655902487142400---Km

if we can have this, plus also the link to WorkflowMax, that would be awesome
