Primavera data source

Has anyone had experience setting up Primavera (p6) as a data source? I presume this is done by adding the relevant Oracle/SQL database as a data source?

 

Not tried it myself yet but exploring having the following 2 key data sources;

 

Primavera P6 R8

SAP

 

Anyone working with the above already that feedback how things are going, any big pitfalls or game-changers discovered down the road?

Hi @adamorsteve,

 

There is no built-in connector for Primavera in Power BI Desktop. An idea about this issue has been submitted in this link , please vote it up.

 

Additionally, to work around this issue, you can use Power Query to connect to Primavera xer files  and create charts in PowerPivot following the guide in this blog, then pin these charts to Power BI dashboard following the instructions in this article.

 

Regards,

Charlie Liao
