Users who have purchased the Power BI outbound connector have the option to download a Power BI template created by Crisp to assist them in reading and manipulating their UNFI data outside of our platform. Please note that you must have the UNFI connector enabled in Crisp first.
This short tutorial will cover how to access and set up the templates Crisp has provided for Power BI.
