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

Yes, please add this connector. We would get a lot of value from this functionality. Thanks.

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 fileno integration of scripting editor available in Excelno dedicated JavaScript API for office add-in developmentMS 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.
