Power BI Shows HTML Data from Zendesk: Why?

Understand why Power BI shows HTML data from Zendesk and how to fix it by using the correct connector.

Why does Power BI show HTML data instead of expected data from Zendesk?

Power BI might show HTML data instead of the expected data if the wrong connector is used or if there are credential issues. This usually happens when the previous Microsoft-made connector is used.

To resolve this, check the client ID by calling the Global OAuth Clients endpoint. If the ID is 131, revoke the token and install the Zendesk Power BI Connector (Beta). This should correct the data type issue and allow proper data retrieval.
