    Thanks everyone for your feedback – We have just released a new Amazon Redshift connector with the Power BI Desktop July Update! This connector is currently in Preview and it allows users to Import data or create a DirectQuery report based on Amazon Redshift data. In future releases, this connector will also be supported in Power BI Service and Gateway for Refresh purposes. Stay tuned! Please take a look at the Update Announcement blog (https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-july-feature-summary/) and to this documentation article for more details: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-connect-redshift/

    '@jonathan, yes the odbc driver from AWS does 'work'... but it will load the entire table, it doesn't 'link' to a table and create a new sql statement as you explore the data - like Tableau does ;-) even good old MS Access can create an ODBC 'linked' table

    This is a must. Not only is it a capability that strenghthens the PowerBI vs other tools conversation, but it also allows a stronger Azure vs AWS conversation because you can demonstrate the tools, gain buy in and then talk about how they could leverage other capabilities if they used Azure.

    and RDS ... connecting to db´s on AWS is an obvious way to take more market share and dramatically increase PBI user base

    This, or at very least a clear ODBC string connectivity guide would be very valuable in letting proponents of the PBI solution sell it to organizations invested in AWS.
