Speckle for Power BI

Load your 3D models into Power BI to boost design coordination and business intelligence workflows.

Ways to integrate with Power BI

Install a connector for Power BI

Use the Speckle connector to exchange data and objects with other tools as you design.

Explore our sample Power BI dashboards

Each dashboard includes a 3D model from your preferred design tool. See how easy it is to track and understand model quantities, area planning, and more.

Speckle boosts your Power BI workflows

Ready-made data helpers

The connector ships with built-in M functions for common BIM data tasks: extract material quantities, pull composite wall and floor layer data, load project issues and comments, and federate multiple models for your 3D visual; all inside Power Query with no custom scripting.

Interactive 3D visual

Visualize your models in 3D within Power BI reports. Filter, explore, and color-code elements by any attribute.

Access properties with ease

Power BI connector automatically extracts your model properties, no manual setup required. We also provide helper functions that make it incredibly easy to get the data you want. Need material quantities? It's just one function call away.

Combine models from any source

Federate multiple models across different platforms and applications, then analyze them in a single Power BI report. Load data from Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, and 9+ other design tools using our connectors, plus 20+ file formats and cloud sources.

Load models from different apps

Speckle connects with 12 applications (Revit, Rhino, Archicad, etc.), supports 20+ file types (IFC, DWG, SKP), and integrates with Autodesk Construction Cloud. Fetch model data from all these apps and get insights in Power BI using the Speckle connector.

Keep reports in sync

Set up a scheduled refresh once, then your Power BI report automatically pulls the latest data. Every time you push a new version to Speckle, your report updates instantly.
