Hi @Medmbchr ,
You can use the CData Power BI Connector for Trello to visualize Trello data in Power BI.
Installing the Power BI Connector creates a DSN (data source name) called CData Power BI Trello. This the name of the DSN that Power BI uses to request a connection to the data source. Configure the DSN by filling in the required connection properties.
You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure the DSN: From the Start menu, enter "ODBC Data Sources" and select the CData PowerBI REST DSN. Ensure that you run the version of the ODBC Administrator that corresponds to the bitness of your Power BI Desktop installation (32-bit or 64-bit). You can also use run the ConfigureODBC.exe tool located in the installation folder for the connector.
Trello uses token-based authentication to grant third-party applications access to their API. When a user has granted an application access to their data, the application is given a token that can be used to make requests to Trello's API.
Trello's API can be accessed in 2 different ways. The first is using Trello's own Authorization Route, and the second is using OAuth1.0.
- Authorization Route: At the moment of registration, Trello assigns an API key and Token to the account. See the Help documentation for information on how to connect via the Authorization route.
- OAuth Route: Similar to using Authorization, OAuth creates an Application Id and Secret when you create your account. See the Help documentation for information on how to to connect.
Follow the steps below to build a query to pull Trello data into the report:
- Open Power BI Desktop and click Get Data -> Other -> CData Trello.
- Select CData PowerBI Trello in the Data Source Name menu and select a data connectivity mode:
Select Import if you want to import a copy of the data into your project. You can refresh this data on demand.
Select DirectQuery if you want to work with the remote data.
- Select tables in the Navigator dialog.
-
In the Query Editor, you can customize your dataset by filtering, sorting, and summarizing Trello columns. Click Edit to open the query editor. Right-click a row to filter the rows. Right-click a column header to perform actions like the following:
- Change column data types
- Remove a column
- Group by columns
Power BI detects each column's data type from the Trello metadata retrieved by the connector.
Power BI records your modifications to the query in the Applied Steps section, adjusting the underlying data retrieval query that is executed to the remote Trello data. When you click Close and Apply, Power BI executes the data retrieval query.
Otherwise, click Load to pull the data into Power BI.
