Due to numerous breaking changes introduced in the new API version "2023-10," we are implementing several crucial updates on our end for Monday.com data export. The changes will be implemented on October 1st, 2023 to guarantee a smooth transition with no disruptions.
These changes involve various adjustments, including modifications to column type names, changes in query complexity points, and revisions to data size limits.
Please take a moment to review the upcoming changes, as they may impact existing Power BI reports.
Tables rename
During the export process,
data of various types is organized into separate tables.
The following table names have been updated as follows:
“duration“ to “time-tracking“
“multiple-person“ to “people“
If you already have a Power BI report, attempting a refresh might result in errors.
Please follow these steps to resolve the issue.
Click on “Transform data” in Power BI Desktop.
Select Table with error in left sidebar and click “Edit Setting“ button
In pop-up window choose new resource
Optionally you can rename Table by clicking right mouse button on a chosen Table
In the new window click on “Refresh Preview” → “Refresh All”.
In the left sidebar, choose the table with the error indicated by an exclamation sign, and then click the "Edit Settings" button.
In the pop-up Navigation window, choose a new table and click OK.
The mentioned changes will modify the Source, and you can also change the table's name if needed by right-clicking on it.
This step is optional and will not impact further refreshes.
Column Types renaming
Column Names consist of
the ‘Name',
‘Type’, and '
ID’ of the column.
Due to Types
renaming a lot of fields changed their names to new ones.
Next Types were renamed to:
“color“ to “status“
“boolean“ to “checkbox“
“multiple-person“ to “people“
“timerange“ to “timeline“
“duration“ to “time_tracking“
“numeric“ to “numbers“
“long-text“ to “long_text“
“timezone“ to “world_clock“
“color“ to “status“
“boolean“ to “checkbox“
“multiple-person“ to “people“
“timerange“ to “timeline“
“duration“ to “time_tracking“
“numeric“ to “numbers“
“long-text“ to “long_text“
“timezone“ to “world_clock“
E.g.: If you had a column previously named "Seller (multiple-person_seller)
," it will now be renamed to "Seller (people_seller)
."
Old version
The type "tag" has been renamed to "tags," and it is no longer available for obtaining the tags list as a string.
Information about tags is
now accessible only through an additional table called "tag,"
which includes links to "Tags
."
As a result, the "tags" column type has been removed from the "Items" table.
Complexity points and limits for requested information size
Changes in complexity points and limits for requested information size might cause could potentially result in a decrease in export speed, possibly slowing it down (by up to 2x 2 times).
Exported data type changes
Type The type of fields which contain Identificators containing identifiers (ID) was has been changed from INT64 to String within in the export.
