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

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.

RE: Add a connector for MS Project MPP files

After demo-ing how we could utilize PowerBI to the director of our multi-team department, one of the first questions I received was whether we could import data from MS Project. This connection is an obvious need in any sort of project management that utilizes MS Project.

Almost 6 years and we still "Need Votes", isn't this one of Microsoft's basic tools, so how come the connector hasn't been provided yet ?

Frankly, I cannot understand how this was not one of the first connections created. This seems pretty obvious.

5 years on so I guess what's the point in having this board?
This connection would be gold.
