Should we add Power BI to REDCap Connector?

@aarenson, I'm cool with that and I just prompted him to send us whatever info he'd like on the page.

In the past few years, I've done it this way because

• I'm reluctant to summarize someone else's project because I might misrepresent it, or undersell it, and
• If they don't have the time or interest to send a few pieces of info, then they probably won't be supporting the real software.

But on the con side, it keeps the project from being on the list, where someone might pick it up and advance it. I don't know how realistic that is though.

So I don't feel strongly about these guidelines, and am happy to include it if you tell me how you want it to read.

Did someone just present on it? Do you know someone using it?

It was mentioned in our REDCap-ETL breakout session by Nidhi Jethoo, nidhi.jethoo@phri.ca

I just sent him a message too because I am editing the code pull reports instead of records but no response.

Hello Shiamin, I was able to connect it with no issues. But also, I was able to modify the code to use it to pull reports instead of records. I want to load it to Github and give him credit. Kindly, Danny Gonzalez

I want to make sure I'm not missing anything here... we're not adding anything to the REDCap Tools page yet?
