Add a connector for MS Project MPP files

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 :/

The missing connector defies the so much claimed "integration"!!!

Absolutely necessary! for On-Premise customers that didn't want to use the project Online

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.

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.

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.
