@Carolyn Copp! So good to see you! ?
I hope to carve out some time to get some templates out here with more detail around Calendar queries and year-to-date measures for our RENXT + Power BI beginners. Let's build the Power BI Template showcase together! Saving Power BI files as .pbit allows other Power BI connector users to leverage Power BI Desktop templates.

@Rebecca Sundquist I keep getting an error when trying to import this zip file. I've been able to import other zip files to create flows. Any idea why?

@JR Barden, thanks for your interest! The attached .zip file contains a pdf and a .pbit file, not a Power Automate flow. These files are useful after you have configured your own custom connector for Power BI based on the files and instructions here: GitHub - blackbaud/powerbi-connector: Blackbaud data connectors for Power Query and Power BI.
This connector on GitHub leverages SKY API to access list end points in The Raiser's Edge NXT and Financial Edge NXT. This open source, community driven Power BI Connector is not the same thing as a Power Platform connector.
