Real-Time Report Using Power BI, Postman, and Power Automate
Katie Tran
Objective:
To develop a robust and dynamic data analysis and visualization solution using Power BI, Postman, and Power Automate, facilitating near real-time insights through automated data extraction and refresh from a third-party API (XAP).
Project Overview:
This project involves creating a seamless integration between Power BI and XAP’s API to extract, analyze, and visualize data in near real-time. The process includes testing API connectivity with Postman, configuring data connections and transformations in Power BI, and setting up an automated data refresh using Power Automate.
Key Steps and Deliverables:
Collaborate with XAP to Extract Data via API:
Test API Connection Using Postman:
Connect API to Power BI Using M Language in Power Query:
Visualize Data in Power BI with Advanced DAX:
Set Up Automated Refresh Using Power Automate:
Publish Data to Web Service:
Expected Outcomes:
A fully automated, near real-time data pipeline from XAP’s API to Power BI.
Comprehensive and interactive Power BI dashboards that offer advanced data visualizations and insights.
An efficient data refresh mechanism, ensuring data is updated every 5 minutes without manual intervention.
Enhanced decision-making capabilities for stakeholders through timely and accurate data insights.
Conclusion:
This project will leverage the capabilities of Power BI, Postman, and Power Automate to deliver a powerful, real-time data analysis and visualization solution. By automating data extraction and refresh processes, the project aims to provide stakeholders with timely and actionable insights, ultimately driving informed business decisions.
