Information note Always use the **Home** > **Refresh** option in PowerBI after you perform **Export analytics**. ![A screenshot of a computer Description automatically generated](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/talend-data-catalog/8.1/Content/user-guide/usage-analytics/img/image1281.png) ![A screenshot of a computer Description automatically generated](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/talend-data-catalog/8.1/Content/user-guide/usage-analytics/img/image1282.png) ![A screenshot of a computer Description automatically generated](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/talend-data-catalog/8.1/Content/user-guide/usage-analytics/img/image1283.png) ![A screenshot of a computer Description automatically generated](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/talend-data-catalog/8.1/Content/user-guide/usage-analytics/img/image1284.png) ![A screenshot of a computer Description automatically generated](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/talend-data-catalog/8.1/Content/user-guide/usage-analytics/img/image1285.png) ![A screenshot of a computer Description automatically generated](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/talend-data-catalog/8.1/Content/user-guide/usage-analytics/img/image1286.png) However, if the application server installation folder is not matching the default, when you open PowerBI, you may update the path parameter and the data will be located. In this case, the installation folder is C:/MM/ and thus the data is at C:/MM/data/files/MM/analytics. ![A screenshot of a computer Description automatically generated](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/talend-data-catalog/8.1/Content/user-guide/usage-analytics/img/image1287.png) With a Microsoft PowerBI client installed on the application server, open the .PBIX file and PowerBI will be started up but will not know the proper location for the analytics data.
