Update Procore Analytics Reports for the Line Items (JSON) Column

Background

Effective February 17, 2026, access to the budget_snapshot_line_items table will be discontinued as the table is officially deprecated (sunset) on this date. Its data has been moved into the budget_snapshot_line_item_headers table as a single JSON column named line_items.

Some Procore Analytics reports, such as “Procore Financials Budget 2.0” and “Procore Financials Budget 2.0 (Custom)”, are already updated. However, if you have other reports that used the old table, you must update them to use this new JSON column.

Prerequisites

  • Make sure that your Procore Analytics reports in the Power BI service are updated to the latest versions.

  1. Open your Procore Analytics report in Power BI Desktop.

  3. In the Queries pane, select the budget_snapshot_line_item_headers query.

  4. Find and right-click the header of the line_items column.

    A dialog box will appear, listing all the available options inside the JSON column.

  7. Select the columns you want to expand.

    Note
