Accounting Insights

Xero connector

The Accounting Insights connector maintains a separate reporting database of your Xero data that you can add as a data source to your Power BI reports. The connector enables:

  • Automation of your Power BI reports from Xero. In the background, the connector extracts your data from Xero into an external database that Power BI can interrogate.  It allows you to schedule up to eight daily, automated report refreshes by the Power BI service, without you having to connect to Xero and extract your data.
  • 25 months of your Xero data on tap. Insights for Xero maintains a database of your last 25 months of Xero data that is always ready for your Power BI reports. You won’t experience long waits and timeouts when you refresh your Xero reports in Power BI. In this way, you will always be able to track your performance this YTD against the last YTD.
  • Multi-company reporting. So you want to build a dashboard for multiple Xero organisations?  No problem.  You can connect to all of your Xero organisations and pull their data into a single reporting model.

Using the Xero connector and our Power BI Desktop templates you can create your own custom reports very easily (or we can do this for you very efficiently).

When you try out the Sage 50 Power BI connector, you will receive a sample Power BI Template report to help get you started and to help explore the data that is available.
