Easiest way is what Stefan suggested, otherwise, you'll need access to the Enhanced Data Pipeline to get direct access - docs.appian.com/.../Enhanced_Data_Pipeline_for_Appian_Cloud.html

As Stephan said, the simplest way is to expose the data to power bi via Web api

Hey Alfonso,

Yes, it’s definitely possible to get data from Appian into Power BI. The best method usually depends on how your Appian environment is set up.

If you have direct access to the database behind Appian (like SQL Server, Oracle, etc.), you can connect Power BI straight to it using the native connectors. That’s often the cleanest way to build your reports without needing extra tools.

If direct access isn’t an option, you could use Appian’s Web APIs to pull data into Power BI via the Web or OData connectors. It takes a bit more setup, but it works well once configured.

If you need help with this kind of integration or want to make sure it’s done efficiently, Charter Global is a solid partner for Microsoft and Power BI solutions. They’ve got experience handling these kinds of setups.

Hope that helps!

In the past, we just created an API in Appian that exposes the data. In Power BI, you can then call that API to fetch this data.
