How to Connect Power BI to a SharePoint List

Use this interactive demo to learn how to link a SharePoint list directly to Power BI for visual reporting.

Quick summary

Connecting Power BI to a SharePoint list lets you transform raw list data into interactive charts, graphs, and maps without manual exports. This integration is built directly into SharePoint's Integrate menu, making it accessible to any user with a Microsoft account and Power BI access.


Steps

  1. Inside the main dashboard of your SharePoint site, head to the left-side panel and select the list you wish to integrate.
  2. Go to the top menu bar and tap 'Integrate'.
  3. Choose 'Power BI' from the list of integration options.
  4. Tap 'Visualize the List', log into your Microsoft account with Power BI access, and start building a visual representation of your SharePoint list as charts, graphs, maps, or scatter plots.

📌 Why this matters

Connecting Power BI to a SharePoint list eliminates the need for manual data exports by enabling live, visual reporting directly from your SharePoint data. Teams can instantly transform list data into interactive charts, graphs, and maps, making it easier to spot trends and share insights across the organization. This integration is especially valuable for organizations already using Microsoft 365, as it requires no additional tools — just a Microsoft account with Power BI access. By bridging SharePoint's data management capabilities with Power BI's visualization engine, teams can make faster, more informed decisions from data they already own.
