The Power BI Xero connector by Vidi allows you to create automated data exports and extract data from multiple companies.
Our Power BI Xero connector works by extracting data automatically from Xero into a database such as Azure SQL Server. This database can then be used for many different purposes including building dashboards, using the data for Machine Learning models and many more purposes.
There are several differences between our Power BI Xero connector and all others:
1. It is possible to combine data from multiple Xero companies together in a single dataset
2. Supports Direct Query
3. The data output of it can be customized for specific needs of a client
Vidi Corp is actively working on development of a proprietary software for extracting data from Xero. The timeline for delivering the first version of it is towards the end of January 2025. The software will cover the script maintenance component of the data extraction work.
Below is the documentation for tables and columns available inside of the connector
