    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

    Yes, some of us have our hearts in the cloud, but our .mpp files are on a local server or out desktops. Please add this feature.

    This would be the perfect round out to the MS suite!
    A major factor for many service based businesses is 'Time' - to link this to your dashboard would be invaluable!!

    While I can use a workaround at the moment by extracting an XML file of the project this takes a lot longer and is a deprecated feature of Microsoft Project and if it goes away there will be no workaround.

    My organization uses MS Project heavily -- a data connector for MPP files would be an amazing addition to PBI inventory.
