    There is an API endpoints for pulling budget information
    https://developer.sky.blackbaud.com/api#api=56eb17a0a9db9516c46bff6f&operation=GetBudget

    so the question really is, what are you trying to get that these endpoint aren't providing?

    If the latest power bi connector doesn't have the endpoint data you want, then someone will have to make change to the connector, keep in mind that the PBI connector is not Blackbaud created/certified and maintenance by individuals). If you got the expertise, you can add to the connector yourselves, or you can wait for next update.

    You can also directly call the SKY API endpoint using Power Automate or any other programming language, and save the data in SharePoint/Onedrive or any other cloud storage that can be read into Power BI

    I guess doing that might be what I need to do. do you happen to have a step-by-step on how you do it? it a video that works well

    Hi, I do not use the PBI connector, instead I have a data warehouse where I pull all information I need for reporting in RE and FE. then my PBI connects to the data warehouse (azure sql server) to get the data, including budget data.

    There is a few tutorial post on communty that you can search on how to do this, regardless of if you plan to do data warehouse or other storage solution.
