I have read the articles and encounter the problem when I put in my user name and password I am being told “we could not authenticate with the credentials provided”. This is my login credential for kobo. What should I do?
My account is created under kobotoolbox.org. not humanitarian response. However, when I follow the instructions
I got it fixed. Thank you. Just for clarification. Now that I have the specific form linked to Power BI, once additional entries are made in Kobo, will the dataset in Power BI be automatically updated?
So now I have a challenge where the xml value is showing in the data set, but I need the corresponding choices value to show instead in the data set, so that the visualizations can be more informative. How is that achieved?
That database would be the xls download export file. See attached. Testa.xlsx (82.9 KB)
Please note that I linked Kobo to Power BI using Postman (i found an article on the forum here). However, the choices are not populating in Power BI, only the xml values. I would prefer not having to manually download the file, change the headers to english, and then import to Kobo. Is real time not an option?
Thanks for replying Yasser. My challenge is that my account is set up in kobo toolbox.org not humanitarianresponse. As mentioned before I have tried all previous suggestions however when there is a multiple choice question, the xml value is what is showing up instead of the description/choice which was assigned the xml value.
I also note though if I download the xls file from kobo having changed the header to English, the actual choices instead of the xml value shows. I would hope that I would not have to download this file daily and do analytics and then just use power BI for visualization. Once again my form is associated to kobotoolbox.org not humanitarian response.
I look forward to hearing from someone who can help me.
The challenge with the value labels on multiple response items has been an ongoing issue. To get this to work on my end, I have always ensured that the value label for the multiple responses is kept as the text in the values too. At the moment we do not have a solution but we can keep this open to see if other users have sorted it out.
Hi, I followed what you suggested, and had the xml values reflect some of the choices. I replaced the form, then went to power bi. The choices are still not showing. I have highlighted 2 sections in the xls sheet for you to see.
Would you mind dropping the use of /() and see if it works. Generally these are the characters that are not supported for a variable name. I still see the use of the same in the highlighted section of the document that you shared:
Dear All,
I seek your respectful support,
I was able to pull data from kobo toolbox form using URL web, but, unfortunately, the data still displaying as names not labels?!!
Salut,
j’ai connecté mon projet kobo à power bi! Mon projet effectue une collecte de données de façon hebdomadaire. Le problème que je rencontre actuellement est que je n’arrive pas à actualiser les visuels que j’ai créé dans power bi malgré qu’il y a eu de nouveaux ajouts. Je reçois des messages d’échecs suivants: Chargement bloqué par des échecs avec d’autres requêtes; la clé ne correspondait à aucune ligne dans la table.
