I agree that accessing the Xero conent pack in Power Bi desktop would be a mssive help.

Has anyone else had a problem with the following:

Fiscal Year reporting - i.e. April 15 - Mar 16 - month table is geared to calendar year. Reference to Fiscal Year only exist is trial Balance period.
Content pack only seems to include last 24 months data so Fiscal year 2015 (Mar 14 - Apr 15) incomplete.

The inability of the content pack to handle multicurrency values is a serious shortcoming for accounting system reports.
It would also be useful to be able to import Xero date into Power BI Desktop

Desktop integration is very important to us. We need to manipulate the data and add new measures. As far as I know, we can't do this with the content pack.

Adding Xero to Power Bi Desktop would be a massive help in analysing our data.

Having tried the content pack, I believe there is an issue regarding multi currencies not being supported.

I would like the content pack updated to incorporate multi currencies as well as link to the Power BI desktop. That is where the data can be easily worked on.
