# Power BI

OvalEdge provides a **Power BI** connector that supports both **cloud hosted Power BI services** and **on-premises Power BI Report Server** deployments. The connector enables metadata extraction and lineage visibility for Power BI assets across supported environments.

### Connector Configuration Steps

{% hint style="info" %}
Users are required to have the **Connector Creator Role** in order to configure a new connection.
{% endhint %}

Log into **OvalEdge** application, go to **Administration > Connectors**, click **+ (New Connector)** and search for **Power BI.**

The available server type options are:

* [**Power BI On-Premises**](/release8.3/connectors/connector-repositories/reporting-tool/power-bi/power-bi-on-prem.md)
* [**Power BI Cloud**](https://docs.ovaledge.com/release8.1/connectors/connector-repositories/reporting-tool/power-bi/power-bi-cloud)

{% hint style="warning" %}
The selected server type determines the configuration flow and applicable connector capabilities.
{% endhint %}

Microsoft Fabric Power BI assets can be integrated using the existing Power BI Cloud connector. For Fabric-specific capabilities and configuration requirements, refer to [Power BI Integration](https://docs.ovaledge.com/release8.2/connectors/connector-repositories/reporting-tool/power-bi/power-bi-integration).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.ovaledge.com/release8.3/connectors/connector-repositories/reporting-tool/power-bi.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
