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'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.

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.

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.
