Primavera Datas

Hi,   I would like to use Power BI to see and analyse datas coming from Primavera P6, an Oracle tool. Should I use web service ? SQL requests ?   How do I log into the P6 data-base ?   I hope ...

Hi Anonymous,

 

I've been able to use the path as parameter ! Thanks !

 

If I want to share the report to my organization user online - they use Power BI online (not Desktop) - will they be able to define the path (the path parameter) themself ?

 

I hope you understand my point... I may be not clear enough. 

 

Thks

Pierre

    Hi mim,

     

    We are using one DB for all users. 

    The goal is to allow every users - planner level - to export their own project in XML and then upload it to Power BI to use the template I set. 

    The best solution would have been to use Online Power BI to import XML project... Next features maybe

    Anonymous thanks for the link, I really appreciate it.

     

    pierredelareux   can you please provide more information about your case, do you have one Primavera database or every planner has his own installation, who update PowerBI, is it you or the planner responsability, do you have free PowerBI or Pro

     

    PowerBi is so flexible, you can do a lot of different integration scenarios.

    Thanks Pierre

     

    i see, but reading from xer or xml can be tricky specially for spread data as it is not stored in the file, at work, we do export excel from P6, and do the reports in PowerBI

     

    thanks again for the reply as it seems not a lot of planners are aware of PowerBI

     

    cheers

    Mim
