Connecting Lightspeed to Power BI
I'm trying to connect our instance of Lightspeed Retail to Power BI so we can run customized reports ad-hoc inside of Power BI off of order data. However I'm not sure where to start or what is required to do so.

Hi @Jtenny,
I was wondering if you already found a way to connect Lightspeed to Power BI? We would like to report in Power BI as well, but are facing the same challenge with limited developing capabilities within the company.
