1. Open the PBIX File
2. Click “Transform data” to open the query editor

4. Select GetInterviewData and enter the desired survey Id

PowerBI Online Issues
The first issue is regarding authentication information and looks like this:
For PowerBI Online it’s necessary to do an explicit Login in favor of an implicit. The Login function returns a token which could be used for all subsequent calls. This is senseful for large reports where several surveys need to be read.
But for PowerBI it’s necessary to do the Login with each request. Therefore change the call in the GetInterviewData Table and change it as follows:
Default:
= ReadInterviews(SecurityToken, surveyid, 0)
For PowerBI Online:
= ReadInterviews(Login("Your clientid", "Your clientsecret"), surveyid, 0)This change will resolve the authentication issue.
The second issues is regarding the data protection and looks like this:
This issue can be mitigated by setting the privacy level to “Organizational”.
Data transformation
The next step is to extract the data into a regular table. Therefore Click on List in line interviews and afterwards click on the button “To Table”. Then use the expand icon on the top right corner of the table. This completes the setup procedure and the interviews are available as PowerBI table.
The functions ReadInterviews and ReadPanel can be used to read multiple surveys and Samples/Panels into PowerBI.
