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 in the Documentation Center.
If you want to ingest Power BI metadata in Data Catalog, you have to purchase the Power BI connector and lineage feature.
Power BI integration via the Power BI harvester is deprecated and no longer supported. If you previously used this integration method, you can use the lineage harvester to migrate your existing Power BI assets to the lineage harvester integration method.
