Overview
OdataLink is a secure cloud service for Microsoft Power BI and Microsoft Excel users to create online dashboards and reports using live Xero data.
It’s like ODBC but for the cloud.
It enables a real-time connection from anywhere using the latest OData technology.
For managers and CFOs, this allows you to create your own KPIs and share them with stakeholders.
For accounting firms and advisers, this allows you to create your own reporting suite and market it as a point of difference.
On the 30th of June 2021, OdataLink received a Merit Award for Technology Platform of the Year from the iAwards.
OdataLink + Xero
OdataLink allows you to create a live read-only connection to your Xero data in the form of an OData data feed.

Any transformation instructions such as filtering and sorting is passed directly Xero creating seamless, agile, responsive and fast experience.
