How to connect PostgreSQL and Microsoft Power BI

Create a New Scenario to Connect PostgreSQL and Microsoft Power BI

In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step

Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a PostgreSQL, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Power BI will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find PostgreSQL or Microsoft Power BI, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the PostgreSQL Node

Select the PostgreSQL node from the app selection panel on the right.

Set Up the PostgreSQL and Microsoft Power BI Integration

Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:

  • Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
  • Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
  • Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
  • Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
  • Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
  • Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
  • Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
  • Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring PostgreSQL, Microsoft Power BI, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.

Test the Scenario

Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the PostgreSQL and Microsoft Power BI integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between PostgreSQL and Microsoft Power BI (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect PostgreSQL and Microsoft Power BI

Microsoft Power BI + PostgreSQL + Slack: Monitors Power BI reports for key metrics exceeding defined thresholds. When a threshold is breached, a query is executed in PostgreSQL to fetch relevant data, and an alert is sent to a Slack channel.

Microsoft Power BI + PostgreSQL + Google Sheets: Takes snapshots of Power BI reports and archives them in Google Sheets for historical analysis. The data used in the Power BI report can be queried from PostgreSQL.
