Thank you for the reply.
Yes, we looked at this option of using the myob API to download data from myob table into sql server tables and then generate reports in using Power BI (power BI connects to sql server).
As we are already using the myob API to export data, we know that its very slow at times. So downloading data and the need to create myob tables in sql server is a time consuming process and the data is not up to date.
We were looking at the below option where u use this addon to access myob tables directly in sql server. It paid though unlike myob API.

Wondering if u have used this addon or have more information on it. Wouldn't this be better than myob API ?
I would like to know your thoughts on this.
Hi PujaParekh , the ODBCLink app uses the API to access the AccountRight file, and then converts the endpoints into tables that look like the ODBC tables in v19. So it is likely to operate at the same speed or slower than native API, given that there is a conversion/transformation process included.
