Hi,
I am trying to create a dashboard in Power BI using the data in one of my Glide Tables as the source. I have a glide business plan, so have access to the API info.
I have tried using the API key, but dont understand enough about this process and am having trouble with authentication. I have also tried to use Make, but again am struggling with the steps.
Can anyone provide some advice on this?
