Yes, though not with a one-click node — you bridge the two. The reliable pattern is: n8n pulls the data you need from the Xero API on a schedule, shapes it, and then either pushes rows to a Power BI streaming or push dataset via the Power BI REST API, or lands the data somewhere Power BI already reads (Azure SQL, a Parquet or CSV file in storage, or a Google Sheet). Power BI then refreshes off that source. For most SMBs the simplest version is Xero to a clean Sheet or SQL table, with Power BI scheduled-refreshing on top.
The pattern, step by step
- Extract. n8n calls the Xero API on a schedule for the ledgers/reports you need.
- Shape. Transform and de-duplicate in n8n so Power BI gets clean rows.
- Land. Write to a Power BI push dataset (REST API), or to Azure SQL / a file / a Google Sheet.
- Refresh. Power BI scheduled-refreshes off that source.

Why not connect Power BI to Xero directly?
Power BI has limited native Xero connectivity and third-party connectors can be costly or rate-limited. Using n8n as the middle layer gives you control over exactly which fields you extract, how they are transformed and de-duplicated, and how often — and you are not locked into a connector vendor.
What is the simplest Xero to Power BI pipeline?
n8n on a schedule, pulling the Xero reports or ledgers you care about, writing them to a Google Sheet or an Azure SQL table, with a Power BI scheduled refresh pointed at that source. It is boring, cheap, and it survives audits because every extraction is logged.
