It would be great if we could Import a tabular model into PowerPivot.

Hoping this is delivered soon. This would really help Excel users move on to the best Power BI has to offer

RE: Import a tabular model into powerpivot and/or power bi designer

absolutely needed. It's a non-starter for any org which has built their analysis world around Excel PowerPivot and PowerViews.

RE: Import a tabular model into powerpivot and/or power bi designer

I would like to create a full power pivot model into a file excel and reuse part of the model in another excel to generate and share different power views starting from the same model.

RE: Import a tabular model into powerpivot and/or power bi designer

When can we expect Designer to access Power Pivot Model?

Just downloaded Power BI designer. I really need the functionality to import my power pivot models to Power BI designer. Please fix, thanks!

RE: Import a tabular model into powerpivot and/or power bi designer

Just downloaded Power BI for my team to evaluate... EXTREMELY disappointed that a Microsoft product is unable to import one of its own main stay data feeds - Power Pivot Data. Again we have to look at other options because MS are dragging their heels. Again a big disappointment to my analytical team

I use the Power Query in both Excel and Power BI Designer.

RE: Import a tabular model into powerpivot and/or power bi designer

Just to reiterate what was previously stated. Please do not release this without the ability to import PQ and PowerPivot models. I was shocked when I saw it was not already there.

RE: Import a tabular model into powerpivot and/or power bi designer

Thanks! It would often be a deal-breaker to use the tool if prior work could not be imported. It's wasteful and tedious to have to rebuild already built models in a new tool. Thanks again for getting this done, yesterday?
