Hi All,

Quick question - can we get the report as attached as the end result from the data pull in Marketo power BI analytics? 

 



Please share your thoughts!

Hi,

I don’t think you can get it very easily because you are mixing 1-to-1 profile data with 1-to-many activity data. This creates a nesting relationship that wants to evaluate the profile data as a first/last relationship.  (You will also need to add some of your data as custom fields to be imported because not all fields are pushed to the data lake.) As a result you get something like this image.

NOTE: You cannot get realtime reporting because data is pushed every night.

Thanks ​@BlaneMcMichen-1 for your response. This is really helpful

Few questions:

- Can we get person details in the data pull (like first name, last name,...)
- How to fetch the custom fields to the list in Power BI analytics, do we need any kind of access? Please confirm.

- can you please provide any documentation for the work instructions to create 1-to1 profile data / 1-to-many profile data?

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

Regarding your two questions:

  1. Adding custom fields requires Admin permission and is described in the documentation here. (It is still labeled RCE in Admin.)
  2. I am not aware of any documentation related to your use case. As I said before, you are attempting to create a report that is a combination of two different types of reports.  It may be possible but you may need the assistance of a Microsoft BI Analytics expert to do it.
