OpenGround Power BI Connector is now available and can be installed from the OpenGround Launcher!
Please refer to Installation and How to get started for more details.
Hi Peter,
If you are using Power BI from the Microsoft Store version, you will have to update your OpenGround Launcher version from the Bentley Software Download.Please refer to https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotechnical1/w/openground-wiki/61606/installation-troubleshooting for more details and do not hesitate to contact our support team if you are still experiencing issues.

Hi there,i can see OpenGround Power BI Connector and OpenGround Power BI Connector (Store) in my launcher - but the install button doesn't pop up i have the latest version of PowerBI desk top - Version: 2.109.782.0 64-bit (September 2022).The notes also say something about latest Launcher required - but i cant see version or how to update the version?
any help please
HI Ben Nicholls, It does just copy the MEZ file, however this is a significantly updated version and running from the launcher will ensure your always using the latest version
Hi Timothy,
OpenGround has a tiered level of functionality. This is discussed during the sales process with your account manager or member of OpenGround sales team. Any connectivity with third parties applications (such as PowerBI) requires the higher level of OpenGround tier.For more details, please contact your Bentley sales representative.Regards,
is this is just copying the MEZ connector over to the right place on your computer? or is there some reasonable features specific to openground>
Hi Marie-Calaude,
Where/how is Bentley informing companies/openground users of changes and updates such as Openground i3 and i5. This seems like an important piece of information that companies should know about, and yet I have never heard of it. As the the primary admin for my company's openground cloud account, I would like to be in the loop on things like this.
Thank you
Hi Emma,
There are two levels of OpenGround Cloud: i3 and i5.
We have designed OpenGround i3 for companies whose primary goal is to produce factual site investigation reports. It includes everything needed to capture data on-site or enter data back at the office, design and create log reports and centrally archive projects. We have designed OpenGround i5 for companies who have large archives or need their geotechnical data to be available to additional applications. It includes Power BI and AutoCAD Civil 3D. An extensive Web API also allows companies to integrate their workflows to and from other in-house or third-party applications.As an existing OpenGround user, you should see the Power BI Connector listed in the Launcher already. If you organization runs an i3 Cloud, a message will be prompted when trying to connect to your OpenGround cloud instance from Power BI.If you need more details, you can contact me directly (marie-claude.dube@bentley.com)
Regards,Marie-Claude
Could you please confirm what OpenGround i5 is and how we can get access to it as an existing OpenGround cloud customer?
