A lot of SAP customers would benefit from a using PowerBI. A direct connection to SAP ECC would be a powerful addition to the list of connectors. Similar to SFDC a set of models around Order to Cash, Spend Analytics would be a great set of dashboards.

RE: SAP ECC
Hello Folks, thanks for putting this request. Yes, access to SAP data in PowerBI / Power Platform (or even MS Excel) has been one of the much needed business asks. We are happy to announce that our PowerPlatform connector is certified by Microsoft (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/usb4sap/) as well as certified by SAP. After testing with pilot customers, we have also initiated process specific to PowerBI certification and that should be coming officially soon. Basically, this provisions any data object in SAP (tables/ views, CDS as well as reports, queries in SQVI, Idocs, ALV, Standard etc) on applications like PowerBI/ XLS, cloud storage (Azure, AWS , GCP) or DB's.Meanwhile, if anyone needs information or use for their trial, please feel free to reach out for details at support@ecoservity.comLooking forward to exciting uses cases & feedback.Anupam
RE: SAP ECC
Sad to see Microsoft still doesn't support for the SAP ECC (SAP R/3) connection for the Power BI.
RE: SAP ECC
Agreed - as an SAP user, having a direct connection would be extremely helpful.
RE: SAP ECC
Use sql server to connect ecc db directly
RE: SAP ECC
The interest of Power BI is to avoid creation of BW system for small/medium enterprises like us.
We have Power BI for others databases, but we want to connect it to our SAP ECC.
Such connector would be appreciate.
RE: SAP ECC
A SAP ECC (Application Layer) connector is key for our needs as well. Currently we are using Galvanize (formerly ACL) to extract SAP table data and are exploring other options. The lack of this connector basically removes it for our list.
RE: SAP ECC
Lack of such connector severely limits usefulness of Power BI to our company. Can one of the design team confirm that such feature is going to be implemented (or that it won't be)? Could be really helpful when making a choice of a data visualization tool that we're going to invest in.
RE: SAP ECC
Ist absolutely necessary to have such a connector.
RE: SAP ECC
A great limitation of Power BI currently hindering adoption.
We have several cases of functional groups in the business wanting to access SAP ECC via PowerBI but can't...Please consider developing
RE: SAP ECC
Would be great to have this.
