# How can I use the database from Planful direct to Power Bi? Is there this possibility, today?

I supposed, the Planful has a possibility to integrate the database direct into Power BI, how can I create the link into Microsoft's application, that become my dashboards more flexible and simpler to update, the excel is not bad, but the Power Bi, shows more integration with Mobile's design, I think this is the next step to make me happy.

We use Dell Boomi to push the data (forecast and hierarchies) nightly into our database, then connect powerbi to our database.

You could try to complement it with Power BI custom visuals that are build for planning like https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps?search=acterys&page=1
