How do Airtable bases become tables in Power BI?

Improvado extracts tables, records and field data from your Airtable bases. Each base appears as its own data source, so you can give each one a separate sync schedule.

Formula fields: arrive as calculated results, not formulas, so a Power BI visual shows the value you see in Airtable.
Linked records: come with record IDs that act as foreign keys, so you can build relationships between tables.
Lookup fields and attachments: are extracted too, along with text and number fields.

Power BI gets the data from your warehouse. Improvado loads into Snowflake, BigQuery or Azure SQL, and Power BI reads it through native connectors in Desktop or the Service. Improvado can also trigger a dataset refresh once a new load lands.

Heads-up: Improvado can apply basic filters during extraction, such as date ranges or specific views. A filtered pull will not contain the rest of the table, so widen the filter if a visual looks short.
