Connecting to Excel workbooks in OneDrive is a great first step, but connectivity to Google Sheets should be there too.

Thanks for the suggestions! I've split out the other cloud storage options into separate ideas for people to vote on.

RE: Connectivity to Google sheets
The GA connector definitely needs an update. Until then, you could check out scitylana.com which lets you load GA data into Power BI for free and without using the built-in connector.

I like Power BI so much because it is such a flexible tool for visualization. Adding the option for Google Maps would be a plus for all the users and makes Power BI even more flexible. Thanks!
RE: Connectivity to Google sheets
We were really excited about the opportunity to link our Google BigQuery databases into PowerBI but it appears to get confused about the structure/hierrarchy of our tables and looks in the wrong folder to import the table from. We tried several ways to fix this but were unable to get it to identify and load the correct table. Seems like a small enough bug to fix! :)
RE: Connectivity to Google sheets
Power BI marketing team has been assuaging the lack of this essential feature by saying you can access it via Analytics. However this is not a solution, since Analytics only imports SOME data from AdWords and marketers need a lot more than just the vanilla impressions, click, cost, keyword, etc. We need Impression Share data and a lot more than that. Please release this asap! :)
RE: Connectivity to Google sheets
Please make this a priority. Google does not even have anything close to what MS has in terms of BI
RE: Connectivity to Google sheets
Please add segments and also the ability to filter other fields in the GA connector.
RE: Connectivity to Google sheets
Please add the ability to connect Power BI to digital campaign management tools used highest in Canada- Google DFP
(DoubleClick for Publishers (DFP), formerly called Google Dart, is an advertisement software as a service application run by Google.)
Also Eyereturn direct connector the way we connect to Facebook would help
RE: Connectivity to Google sheets
Agree with Kevin. Currently Google Data Studio is moving faster and is more accessible (ease of use).
Hopefully we stop it from eating Power BIs breakfast with some good additional connectors such as this.
RE: Connectivity to Google sheets
Completely agree with Jamie. My use case is for sharing reporting with customers and having a wide open http URL (security through obscurity) is not good enough. One drive works great with sharing with our customers already.

Bing maps are horrible in my country (Pakistan). They don't have detail beyond national highways so no local streets at all let alone addresses - google has all these details. Please allow support for google maps
