    All of the current Ideas that mention SAP BusinessObjects BI Universe integration are marked as completed as this feature was offered pre June/July release. This is nearly a critical requirement for adoption in my organization.

    I had previously heard that this was removed due to licencing restrictions, can we get an official response on that? Is there any possibility of this being re-integrated?

    Unfortunately, the Business Objects connector was removed due to a number of reasons.

    SAB BO semantic layer is superior than PBI one. However, PBI is more user friendly. It would be such a great partnership. Obviously, neither SAP, nor MS wants to share the cake...

    In order to leverage existing universes semantic layer in power bi, this connector would be super helpful.

    Please activate the SAP BO Universe connection in POWER BI.It would be great if we can connect to exiting Universes so as to save that time and effort needed to build semantic layers again.

    Accessing the investment we have made into the Universe semantic layer with Power BI would be incredibly useful for our organization
