I am using Premium per user of Power BI service. When I connect to data source list, there are no Microsoft certified custom connector in the list. Please find the image attached here.
How to add our certified custom connector in the list?

I was searching for some info on retrieving data from PLC to Power BI dashboard. It was suggested to use API for data upload from PLC. Power BI is then get all the info from API. The example videos was removed and i can't find any related examples.
Is the any guidance project on this or maybe some better solution than accessing API ?
Here are a few other examples of projects that demonstrate how to retrieve data from a PLC and display it in a Power BI dashboard:
"Power BI and PLC Data Integration"
(https://www.plcdev.com/blog/power-bi-and-plc-data-integration/)
This project uses an OPC UA server to collect data from the PLC and send it to a database, and then uses Power BI to connect to the database and display the data in a dashboard.
"Power BI Dashboard with PLC Data"
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZWwLZt5_JQ)
This project uses a Raspberry Pi as a gateway to collect data from the PLC and send it to a database, and then uses Power BI to connect to the database and display the data in a dashboard.
"Real-time PLC data visualization with Power BI and Python"
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1pZ7V_C_6U)
This project uses python script to collect data from the PLC and send it to a database, and then uses Power BI to connect to the database and display the data in a dashboard.
Please note that these are just a few examples, and there may be other ways to achieve this, depending on your specific use case and requirements. It's also possible to use other services such as InfluxDB, Grafana, or even a simple database like MySQL to store and retrieve data.
I am trying to send output of my response from Azure logic app withhttptriggerto Power bi data source and generate visuals whenever there is a positive or negative response from my logic app design flow.
What data source can I select in Power bi desktop version?
Is there API which can be used for same purpose? If yes, please provide the API details as well.
I tried to do it in online version but I need to do it for desktop version of Power bi
whenever there is a positive or negative response from my logic app design flow.
You can use a condition connector placed before to perform this requirement
What data source can I select in Power bi desktop version?
There is no direct connector that may help you to generate reports but there is a vast area from where you can send the data to particular storage and generate the reports from there. For Example, you can save your data to Azure blob storage through logic apps and then get the data from Azure blob storage to generate reports from power bi. Below are all the ways where we can get the data to generate reports.
The present power bi Connector in the logic app may help you to Use Power BI REST API to add rows to a dataset, Use Power BI Rest API to initiate export for Power BI reports, and other few actions. But there is always an option to do our own custom connector for power bi from logic apps through Custom connectors.
For more information regarding this, you can refer Create a Custom Connector for Logic Apps using the Azure portal - Microsoft Tech Community
Here is a tutorial where data is sent to the Azure SQL Database and the reports will be generated from Azure SQL Database.
I'm trying to use the Direct Query feature in Power BI
It is working on Power BI Desktop, but when I publish it to Power BI online, it gives the error below.
The source database is Azure SQL Database with pricing tier Standard S0: 10 DTUs.
The Power BI license is Premium (I've also tried with Pro).

When you are using Azure SQL Database as a data source, you must provide credentials before the Power BI service shows the published report.
Follow the instructions to provide the credentials from this Microsoft document.
If credentials are not added error occurs when opening the published report or a dataset that is created with the DirectQuery connection.
I have Power BI report server setup in my on-premise environment. Here I am trying to connect to the PowerBI report server (on-premise) via the Excel sheet add-in (Power BI publisher for Excel).
I followed the below mentioned article :
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/publisher-for-excel
But in this case I am not able to connect to the on premise PowerBI report server. It is always connecting me with the cloud version of PowerBI.
Can any one help me to know how to fix this issue?
Currently PowerBI addon - publisher-for-excel only Support for PowerBI services not for desktop/On-premises/Report servers.
As it mentioned in the description that When you pin an element from Excel, a new tile is added to a new or existing dashboard in Power BI,
In our case the dashboard feature it-self would not be available in Power BI report server. Eventually, publisher for excel would not be in the consideration with Power BI Report server. For full features list..
It doesn't seem possible to connect Power BI Desktop to Insightly although there's a content pack for Power BI Service.
Is there a workaround, if we need to build a data model and/or add calculated measures? E.g. use the content pack for the service and then connect Desktop to Power BI service?
Or any better suggestion? Thank you for helping with this!
You could always connect by finding the URL being passed in the Power BI service and use that as a Web data source from Power BI desktop. That way you'd be able to create your data model.
There are additional details here which guide you through the insightly portal.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-connect-to-insightly
There is a section within the above named "Finding Parameters" here it goes through how you can access the insightly portal. Additionally there is information around how to access the insightly API. Please note there is daily limit on the number of calls to this API.
select User Settings from the Insightly profile menu and scroll down.
This string of characters will be used to connect your data to Power BI.
Insightly API documentation can be found here:
https://api.insight.ly/v2.2/Help#!/Overview/Introduction#ratelimit
An example of an API call using the Power BI Web data source is as follows:
https://api.insight.ly/v2.2/Contacts
Using the key which can be found under the "Finding Parameters" tab you're able to populate the below:
