RE: Hyperion ESSBASE

I am the manager of BI Data Integration at HCA, and we have a need for Power BI integration with Essbase as well. For example, we do this today with Tableau which supports pulling Essbase data as well as a drag and drop of structure used to build a canned report that can be distributed out to a user base. I do not think Power BI will work with anything but XMLA, and while that's ok, it is not as quick to develop as Tableau.

RE: Hyperion ESSBASE

Question for Microsoft: Has there been any progress on true integration with Essbase Cubes and Power BI? Any ETA when this will happen?

Power Query can already connect to Essbase. You just have to know how. See my post at http://harrygates-essbase-blog.blogspot.com/2016/09/power-query-how-to-connect-to-essbase.html

RE: Hyperion ESSBASE

We are looking for a data visualization tool for our company. The top requirement I have is that I can connect to our Essbase information. Right now the only way to do so is through the Smartview add-in for Excel, which means someone manually has to retrieve it and send it out. Whichever visualization tool can connect to the data so I can have automated visualizations that users can access the latest data rather than have a person manually update will have my recommendation to management. Right now the Tableau rep says it can be done.
