Re: Board SQL Connector (Inbound ODBC Driver)
Hi @Joel Bryant
There are other ways to get data into Power BI other than using the Power BI add-in connector. These methods are not something that Board supports but you can try them on your own.
Integrate Board into Power BI Service using Fabric as the orchestrator:-
Fabric Pipeline —> Lakehouse/Warehouse —> Semantic Model
- Use a Fabric Data Factory pipeline (Web v2 + Copy Data activity) to fetch token, call Board Public API Queries, and load the results into a Fabric Lakehouse or Warehouse.
- Build a Power BI semantic model in the Service on top of the Lakehouse/Warehouse, then create reports.
Dataflows Gen2 (Power Query Online) —> Lakehouse/Warehouse —> Semantic Model
- Use a Dataflow Gen2 with an M script to obtain a token and call Board Public API Queries, then write directly to a Fabric Lakehouse or Warehouse table.
- Build a Power BI semantic model in the Service on top of that table and report from it.
If you don't have fabric capacity, then you can push the data from Board (POST) via the REST API call step in the procedure into the Power BI workspace using the Push Datasets API endpoints. You would need the PostDataset and PostRows endpoints to create a new dataset and push rows into that dataset.
Kindly refer the Microsoft Power BI API documentation -
To use these endpoints, you would need to authenticate via OAuth2.0 client credentials for which you would need to register an Azure AD application to use with Power BI-

@Nico Weber Thanks for your thoughts! We look forward to hearing more as the year continues and more exciting updates roll out.
Re: April CommunityCast and Monthly Mission
@Amy Holmes We agree—the Unified Help Menu is also super helpful for direct connection to Community! 🙌And, of course, all the Board Agent capabilities are the star of the show 🤩. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Re: Board 15 is here!
list of bugfixes included in board 15 compared to board 14.5 is missing ?
Re: April CommunityCast and Monthly Mission
The release of Board 15 is incredibly exciting, particularly due to the introduction of Board AI Agents.
For me, the standout feature is how these agents shift the platform from a reactive tool to a proactive partner.
I am especially looking forward to seeing how these autonomous agents can simplify complex data analysis and automate routine reporting tasks.
The ability to receive AI-driven insights and streamlined forecasting directly within the workflow is a game-changer, as it allows our clients to focus more on strategic decision-making rather than manual data processing.

Re: April CommunityCast and Monthly Mission
This latest release is so full of functions (and fun), it's hard to pick a favorite thing! But I will say, my favorite thing has been watching all of the feedback and absorbing all the energy around one of Board's most impactful releases yet. Looking forward to hearing what the Community has to say 🙂.

Hi @Prince
on 31-03, every year, our "Partner" licenses expire and must be renewed - i agree with @Robert Barkaway : did you check if Board Server is running?
If not, please check the error message related in the Windows Event Viewer and let us know! :)
