This repo is the home to our Speckle 2.0 PowerBI project. The Speckle Server is providing all the web-facing functionality and can be found here.
Go to the Releases page, downlad the .mez file of the latest release and copy it into the following folder in your computer:
YOUR_USER_FOLDER\Documents\Power BI Desktop\Custom Connectors\
Go to Settings -> Security -> Data Extensions and activate the following option:
Now open PowerBI and you should see Speckle (beta) appear in the data source.
More detailed instructions on how to use the connector will be added shortly!
Chunked data currently is not automatically de-chunked when received, we are aware of this limitation and are working to resolve it!
We encourage everyone interested to debug / hack / contribute / give feedback to this project.
Follow the instructions from the official docs
Every time you build the connector, VisualStudio will copy the latest .mez connector file to the appropriate location. Just restart PowerBI to see the latest changes.
You can start the PowerQuery connector in VisualStudio, this will open a standalone connector you can use for testing purposes.
We don't know of a way to debug the connector live in PowerBI, but we'd be happy to hear about it.
