Working with Power BI service (deprecated)

Note Power BI integration via the Power BI harvester, as described in this section of the documentation, is deprecated. The development of new features and improvements is discontinued. For complete information on integrating Power BI via supported means and migrating existing Power BI assets, see the following topics:

Power BI service is a cloud business intelligence software that helps you see and understand your data. You can ingest Power BI metadata in Data Catalog and create a technical lineage.

The Power BI service integration in Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud is not the same as the Power BI Report Server integration. If you want to ingest Power BI Report Server metadata in Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud, please read the Power BI Report Server section of the user guide.

Note If you want to ingest Power BI metadata in Data Catalog, you have to purchase the Power BI connector and lineage feature.
