The Intune Data warehouse provides some data that is very useful for creating reports. In this blog I will show you how to access this data with PowerBi and also provide you with a example dashboard.

What is the Intune data warehouse
The Intune data ware house is a collection of multiple structured data tables with relations. You can use these for reporting purposes. It uses the OData model and you can access both daily and historical data. The Intune data warehouse only shows Intune devices, co managed devices have to be retrieved via ConfigMan. You can find the OData feed string in the Mem Portal under Reports -> Data warehouse.

The dashboard looks nice but when I try to refresh the data I get the following error:
OLE DB or ODBC error: Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040E4E.
I think it’s related to Regional settings but I can’t find a setting that allows the data connection to complete. Any thoughts?

It looks like that this is an issue with the encoding and an strange character. Can you give me more details from this error message. You can also check this: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/0x80040E4E-Error-OLE-DB-or-ODBC/m-p/116683

Sorry, I overlooked your reply. Just had a chance to review your response and test a few things. I enabled tracing and grabbed the error from the logs. Here is the error, which doesn’t mention language support or unusual characters.
