SysTrack Power BI Connector

SysTrack collects over 10,000 pieces of data every 15 seconds. However, that much data can be overwhelming when you need to produce a report. Learn how to download and configure the SysTrack Power BI Connector so you can then use Microsoft Power BI to showcase SysTrack data in the best way possible.

NOTE: This course assumes that you know how to use Power BI and have access to your SysTrack cloud tenant. If you have an on-premises SysTrack installation, you do not need the SysTrack Power BI Connector as you will use the SQL database connector.

This course does not provide instruction on using Power BI Desktop or for connecting Power BI to a SQL database.

There is no certification exam for this course. You will receive a Certificate of Completion at the conclusion.
