The latest March 2026 update includes many improvements to the Odata Feeds and logging mechanism. These improvements are aimed at providing even more performance when pulling data from Xero or MYOB.
They provide additional mechanisms to:
MYOB is introducing mandatory security changes that take effect 1 March 2026.
OdataLink users reporting on MYOB company files will need to reauthorise each data file to continue accessing live data via OdataLink.
This change applies to MYOB connections only. Xero data file connections are not affected.
In late May 2026, Xero will cease to provide access to the Legacy Expense Claims endpoints.
We’re pleased to announce some major improvements to the OdataLink logs architecture.
We are pleased the announce the recent addition of a new option to the Model. The OData Client Compatibility option fine tunes the OData Feed as different client have different implementation of the OData standard.
Prior to this option, OdataLink would auto detect the client requesting data (whether Excel, Power BI, Tableau, Data Factory or other) and would make slight changes to ensure the OData feed was compatible.
This option now allow you to force it to work a specific way. This was primarily added as it was not possible to detect customers who used Solver to pull data.
We’ve been hard at work writing a few new tutorial articles to help explain how you can control how accounts appear on reports and dashboards.
One set of tutorials explain how you can create a mapping table to add additional rows to your Profit and Loss, and Balance Sheet Reports for both Power BI and Excel.
We are pleased to formally announce that MYOB report templates for both Excel and Power BI are available for download.
These templates are the first step to transition some users from BudgetLink and ExcelReportLink over to OdataLink. There will be many more to come in the next few months.
In March 2025, we’ve updated the Xero Accounting models, Xero Assets models and Xero Projects models to include an additional Page Size setting.
Configuring this setting can increase the performance of the OdataLink OData feed for Xero. This in turns makes Excel, Power BI or others refresh faster.
In March 2025, we’ve released a major improvement to OdataLink’s OData Feed.
The model’s Cut Off Date settings allows you to control how older historical data is provided by OdataLink.
In February 2025, we finalised a major enhancement to the OdataLink Firewall. We are pleased to announce the addition of geo-based IP addresses.
