There are multiple methods to integrate Power BI with NetSuite.
- NetSuite ODBC Connector:
NetSuite provides an ODBC driver that allows you to connect to NetSuite’s database directly from Power BI using the ODBC connection feature. You can configure the ODBC driver and establish a connection to access NetSuite data within Power BI.
- NetSuite SuiteAnalytics Connect:
SuiteAnalytics Connect is a NetSuite add-on that enables real-time integration with third-party reporting tools like Power BI. It provides a secure and controlled way to extract NetSuite data for reporting purposes.
- NetSuite Saved Searches:
NetSuite allows you to create saved searches, which are customizable queries that can be scheduled to export data in various formats. You can schedule a saved search to export the data you need and then import it into Power BI using Power Query or other data import methods.
ODBC is one of the supported data sources for scheduled refresh.
Two effective ways to connect NetSuite to Power BI are:
1. Utilize the ODBC functionality within NetSuite
2. Utilize the Web Query functionality within NetSuite
