Data sources/ connectors

Hi Samantha

Thank you for your question to the forum.

With the 3 data sources you mentioned, you can connect to them but not always directly. With Linkedin, for example, you will need access to the settings in LinkedIn to download the tables and save them as csv files. Then go to 'Get Data' in Power BI Desktop to connect to the csv files. Here is a Youtube video link that explains the first part in getting the data from LinkedIn (first 3 mins of video)

As I understand it, the other 2 sources you mentioned may also need to be saved as a csv file before getting the data from Power BI Desktop

I hope this helps and please let me know if it has worked

Kind regards
