    @Eliana De Sousa Where are you getting stuck with the connector?

    There are lots of different approaches to getting data into Power BI - connector, query, queue, etc. If you share what data you need & what outcomes you are looking for, you will get some good suggestions here.

    if you are trying to setup the Blackbaud unofficial connector for Power BI, you can refer to the long reply I have here:

    https://community.blackbaud.com/forums/viewtopic/426/64701

    it goes into screenshot details of all the steps.

    i went set by step on the video Blackbaud sent

    when i get to the last step of opening up the PowerBI desktop and click to select the data file this is where the file doesn't show up for me

    @Eliana De Sousa Most likely there is a problem with your .mez file. Take a look at the screenshots Alex provided in the link in this thread – they are very detailed & should be helpful. The .mez file is very finnicky.
