# Link data to Power BI

In this walkthrough you will learn how to link the respondents data to the Power BI tool (to the web and desktop versions)

## 🌐 Link data to Power BI web version

For the web version of Power BI we will use the CSV file with respondents data. To do this you need to generate the CSV data file and then to upload it from your device to the online tool.

4. Press **Get** at the **Files** part of the Create new content section to upload the CVS file
5. Upload the file from your device

{% hint style="success" %}
Once the data is generated, it will be automatically downloaded to your device.
{% endhint %}

## 💻 Link data to Power BI desktop version

To link data to the desktop version of the Power BI you can use the [web link](/form-management/data-export/data-exports/export-jobs.md) of the data export, which will allow to have an automatic refresh of the data in your report.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.ngsurvey.com/walkthroughs/power-bi-integration/link-data-to-power-bi.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
