When creating a Power BI report, which data connection category should a report writer use to access Dynamics 365 Customer Voice data?

When creating a Power BI report to access Dynamics 365 Customer Voice data, selecting the Microsoft Power Platform data connection category is the most appropriate choice. This category is specifically designed to integrate services within the Microsoft ecosystem, including Dynamics 365 applications, Power BI, and other Power Platform components.

Dynamics 365 Customer Voice data is inherently part of the Microsoft Power Platform, which facilitates seamless connectivity and ensures that users can leverage the data stored in Customer Voice effectively when building reports. By utilizing this integration, report writers can take advantage of the built-in capabilities and optimizations made for connecting and working with data within the Power Platform.

The other categories, while relevant for various data sources, do not specifically target the Microsoft ecosystem in the same way. The Database option typically involves direct connections to databases, which might not be applicable for accessing Dynamics 365 services. The Online Services category is broader and includes various web-based services but may not directly highlight the integration assured by the Microsoft Power Platform. Excel Data Sources are meant for accessing data stored in Excel files, which does not pertain to retrieving Dynamics 365 Customer Voice data effectively.

Thus, the Microsoft Power Platform connection category is the best option for accessing and reporting on Dynamics 365 Customer Voice data in Power BI
