It would be great if we could query Viva Goals data using Power BI. This would enable much more flexible reporting of our organization performance and would enable a consistent user experience for our users using other Power BI dashboards.

Hi @mtitsworthsfmfb - The idea of enabling Power BI to query Viva Goals data is a compelling one and could bring substantial value to organizations by allowing more flexible and comprehensive reporting of organizational performance. Viva Goals is a part of Microsoft's Viva suite, focusing on objectives and key results (OKRs). Integrating Viva Goals data into Power BI could enhance your organization's ability to track OKRs alongside other performance metrics, creating a unified reporting experience.

The integration could be done via APIs that allow Power BI to query Viva Goals data directly. As of now, there isn't direct API integration between Power BI and Viva Goals, but Microsoft is continuously updating its ecosystem, and adding such integrations is feasible.

If you're interested in this, consider submitting a feature request through Microsoft Power BI's Ideas platform, as user feedback is often considered in the development of new features. Additionally, keeping an eye on Microsoft's updates to their Viva suite and Power BI integrations is recommended.
