How to import data into your Microsoft Power BI Desktop using account credentials

 

To work with Power BI, Power BI Connector for Jira generates the Data Source URL. Use this URL to import data to your Power BI Desktop.

 

Step 1. Copy the URL of your connector by clicking Copy icon

 

 

Step 2. Launch Power BI Desktop and Click Get Data > OData feed and paste the URL.

 

Step 3. Choose Basic authorization in Power BI and enter Username and Password that were created at connectors' page. Click Connect.

 

Step 4. Select the tables you need and click Load.

 

After step 4 data will be loaded into Power BI.

If there is a big amount of data to be imported, it can take some time.

After this, you can start building graphs and dashboards based on the imported Jira data. To do this, choose the visualisation type and select the data you want to see on the graph or dashboard.
