Please add MS Project MPP files as a data source.
Wonderful things can be done with Project Online and Power BI.
I would love to do the same with the MS Project MPP files on my laptop

RE: Add a connector for MS Project MPP files
Come on team - a critical connection between two microsoft products must be a priority. How young is Power BI these days....?
RE: Add a connector for MS Project MPP files
Hello,
does anyone knows what is the status of that request ?
I'm in need of the exact same thing and I'm so sad that Desktop version of MS Project seems to be the poor child of the Office family :
- no BI connector to mpp file
- no integration of scripting editor available in Excel
- no dedicated JavaScript API for office add-in development
MS Project plan costs as much monthly as all other Office suit products combined but it seems all evolutions are lagging behind :/
RE: Add a connector for MS Project MPP files
The missing connector defies the so much claimed "integration"!!!
RE: Add a connector for MS Project MPP files
Absolutely necessary! for On-Premise customers that didn't want to use the project Online

Absolutely necessary!

I'm shocked that this connection does not exist yet. It would be extremely, EXTREMELY well received in the scheduling community. Plenty of us are working in MS Project Desktop vs. Server.
RE: Add a connector for MS Project MPP files
As seen in other comments - why is this connector not available for both Power Query and Power BI? Working with a client and been asked this very question and had to explain not currently available. Please get this resolved asap.
RE: Add a connector for MS Project MPP files
You need to add this connector. Especially enabled for Power BI Desktop and MS Project Desktop. U.S. Defense Contractors use Earned Value extensively. Having connectors will significantly improve the PM, PgMP, and PfMP Leads productivity.

Was Microsoft Office part of the Office suit, then why it was not added to the listed connections. This is a basic connectivity issue that needs to be solved.
RE: Add a connector for MS Project MPP files
MS Project is at a disadvantage to other scheduling softwares due to it's limited ability to link in with dashboards to increase visibility of said schedules.
