Using Power Query M with Zendesk Power BI Connector

Learn how to use Power Query M language with the new Zendesk Power BI Connector by adjusting the Source initialization.

How do I use Power Query M language with the new Zendesk Power BI Connector?

To use Power Query M language with the new Zendesk Power BI Connector, you need to adjust the initialization of the Source. The new connector usesZendeskData.Contents()instead ofZendesk.Tables().

For example, the new query initialization would look like this:

let Source = ZendeskData.Contents("https://yoursubdomain.zendesk.com", []), Users = Source{[Name="Users"]}[Data] in Users

This change is necessary to ensure your queries work properly with the new connector. If you have existing queries, simply update the Source initialization part.
