Using Flow to export D365 Data for Power BI and PowerApps

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by saturation 203

New to Flow, just trying to get some advice on best practices. Basically, I need data from D365 available in Power BI and also for an app from PowerApps. 

 

I've tried connecting Power BI directly to D365 and it takes forever to load data. I don't need realtime data, so it seems a better solution is to export on a nightly basis using Flow and have them saved in SharePoint. Using Power BI, I can connect to the data, create my joins and other transformations on the data using Power Query Editor, then display with the visualizations. 

 

I would also likely connect the PowerApps to the data exports in SharePoint. 

 

Does this sound feasible and logical? Are there better ways to do this?

    No issues, I just want to know if I can accomplish it doing it this way, and to know if there's a better way to do it!
