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

I can export all of the fields in an MPP file to Excel, then connect in Power BI. This is clumsy. A direct connect is highly desirable.

We widely use MPP, it would be great if we have a source as MPP to connect through power bi.

This would be a great feature, particularly considering the link between Project and Planner.

If we could add a Power BI web part into a Sharepoint team site, which gives Project dashboards fed from tasks being completed by a linked Planner, it would save so much admin time!

Yes, some of us have our hearts in the cloud, but our .mpp files are on a local server or out desktops. Please add this feature.
