Explore CData's Replacement for Microsoft’s Deprecated QuickBooks Online Connector for Power BI

Microsoft deprecated its native QuickBooks Online connector for Power BI in August 2025, prompting organizations to find alternatives that preserve financial reporting while supporting security, governance, and reliable refreshes. The text presents CData’s Microsoft-certified QuickBooks Online Power BI Connector as a replacement offering broad QuickBooks API and metadata coverage, schema similarities intended to reduce migration work, and deployment options for Power BI Desktop, Power BI Service, on-premises gateways, and cloud-native connectivity through CData Connect AI. It supports DirectQuery and real-time analytics through query pushdown to QuickBooks Online, while handling unsupported operations with an embedded SQL engine, and emphasizes reduced data replication for governance benefits. Users can install and configure the connector, authenticate through OAuth, connect through Power BI using either DirectQuery or Import mode, select and model data, and publish reports with automatic refresh capabilities.
