Hi,

Is it possible to extract data from Reckon Hosted and utilize it in Power BI to create customized dashboards and reports? While I understand there's no native integration between these two software, I'm curious if anyone has successfully achieved this using API tools. Is there a chance these two products can work together?

I'd appreciate any information!

Thanks!

Jo

    Thank you, Nick and Tanvi, for your tips.

    One more question though. If I download this CData Connector trial to test it, will I find it straightforward to use, or do I need someone with technical skills in terms of integrating data from Reckon to Power BI via this connector?

    Hi,

    I recently downloaded the CData trial to integrate Reckon Hosted data into Power BI. While attempting to open the "Time Tracking" tab in Power BI, I encountered an issue.

    The data begins to load but halts after surpassing 2,000 rows with the following error:

    'TimeTracking

    Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'OLE DB or ODBC error: [DataSource.Error] ERROR [HY000] The iteratorID "{9e252416-d6c2-4c12-ab3a-a3c2dc7241d6}" is not valid.. '

    I've reached out to CData support regarding this issue, and they advised me to send the log file for further troubleshooting. However, I'm not sure where to locate this log file in Reckon Accounts Hosted.

    Could you please provide your guidance?

    Thank you for your assistance.
