I will build live airtable to power bi connector with auto refresh
About this Gig
Power BI has no native Airtable connector. Your options are exporting CSVs by hand forever, or paying a third-party tool every month for data you already own.
I build you a direct, live connection instead a custom Power Query / M connector that pulls straight from the Airtable API into Power BI and refreshes on a schedule you set. No monthly middleware fee, no manual exports.
What you get:
- A working Power BI file connected live to your Airtable base
- Correct typing for Airtable's awkward fields linked records, rollups, lookups, multi-select, attachments
- Scheduled refresh configured (Power BI Service / gateway)
- A short Loom walking you through how to change or extend it
Why me: I'm a full-stack developer who works in Power BI and Microsoft Fabric daily on a government data platform, and I've been building API integrations since 2017. This is ordinary work for me, not a stretch.
Not sure if your base will map cleanly? Message me with a screenshot of your table structure I'll tell you straight, before you order.

FAQ
Will this cost me a monthly fee?
No. That's the point. Tools like Coupler or CData charge monthly forever. This is a connector you own outright.
Does it update automatically?
Yes on Standard and Premium - I configure scheduled refresh in the Power BI Service. Basic is a live connection you refresh yourself.
What about Airtable's API rate limits?
Airtable allows 5 requests/second per base. I build in pagination and throttling so large bases sync without hitting the ceiling.
My base has 40 tables. Can you handle it?
Yes - that's Premium. Message me first so I can confirm scope and give you an accurate delivery date.
Can you do Fabric / a semantic model instead of a .pbix?
Yes, I work in Fabric daily. Message me and I'll quote it.
