Back in 2021 I wrote a blog on Lists and Power BI. Microsoft had just released the ability to visualise a list through the integrate tab. And at that time everything was pretty much good, except it had a fundamental issue where whilst it generated the report on top of List, that report didn't appear in the Power BI service itself. I know, I know. It kind of sounds like one of those first world problems right - and I guess to some extents it is given that the report could be created after all. But for me, who uses Lists as data sources, and wanted them in the service, in a workspace alongside other reports and then to pull then back through into the Power BI App in Teams, it was kind of a frustrating situation being that close. Today, I am probably a bigger user of the Desktop App than the service, connecting to Lists and then publishing them to the service. And this scenario probably pushed me to being more of a Desktop user than a Service user all up. But now we have the ability to export the list directly into Power BI as a dataset. This is massive. So let's go building.
