How to Connect Sharepoint to Power BI

SharePoint by Microsoft is a collaboration and document management platform used to store, organize, and share information within organizations. It supports intranet portals, team sites, and content management workflows. Businesses use SharePoint to improve knowledge sharing, compliance, and collaboration across teams. As a connector, SharePoint integrations allow enterprises to sync documents, metadata, and user activity into analytics and reporting systems. Its scalability and security make SharePoint a staple for enterprise content management and collaboration strategies.
