Hi there,

Is it possible to connect to a SAP BusinessObjects BI WebIntelligence through Power Query or Power BI?

Ideally, I wish to connect to specific reports not to the entire universe.

Thanks in advance for your help

Best regards

Eliane

Hi Eliane,

According to this post it should be available under the "From Other Sources" menu, but I don't have it. I've put a call out to Microsoft to ask if it's only a connector that appears if you have SAP, which I don't.

Let me know if you have the connector.

Hi again,

I've had word that this connector is to be deprecated due to lack of support on the SAP side. If you do have it, I wouldn't use it because when your version of Power Query eventually gets updated your model will break.

Better to export the data from SAP to CSV/Text file and import from there.

Hi Mynda,

Thank you for your rapid response. I do not either see the connector.

I'll continue to download the reports then.

Have a nice day

Eliane
