Data connections are key to any good business data analysis. When you have the right data connections, you can easily bring in the data into the same platform to analyze them. This means that you can build your data connections just like building blocks, with each block bringing greater value to your organization.
You may first start with only one block, but as your company grows, you might start to utilize other data sources. Being able to have the large range of supported data connections means that you are future-proofing your investment into your data operations.
Below are the list of data connections and file formats that are currently supported. This means that all these can be directly connected to the Power BI dashboards that we build for you. If the data source which you are using is not currently supported, there are usually ways around the problem which can be resolved, such as connection of your data to Azure, which is then used to connect to the Power BI dashboards.
