Connecting Power BI to IBM Planning Analytics

Hi All, 

 

I've seen there are some threads about connecting Power BI to IBM Planning Analytics but they are quite old (2018). Is there any way these days to connect the two that doesn't involve Pythos scripting or third party software in the middle?

 

Thanks

 

Niall

Hi @NiallWynne -There are no completely out-of-the-box connectors in Power BI specifically designed for IBM Planning Analytics, the methods above offer ways to establish a connection without needing extensive coding or third-party software like ODBC or REST APIs.
