How to get custom columns from Project for the Web?
- Anonymous4 years ago
Hi vietna ,
I think you can try Web connector to achieve your goal.
Here is an article I ran across detailing how to include the Enterprise Custom Fields (ECF) inside Power BI via the pre-built Power BI to Project Online PBI file.
Extending the PowerBI content pack for Project on the web
Example:
Source = Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://[yourtenant].sharepoint.com/sites/[yoursite]/_api/ProjectServer/Projects?" & "$expand=Tasks&$select=Id" & ",Tasks/Id" & ",Tasks/OutlineLevel" & ",Tasks/OutlinePosition" & ",Tasks/Name" & ",Tasks/Start" & ",Tasks/Finish" & ",Tasks/ActualStart" & ",Tasks/ActualFinish" & ",Tasks/PercentComplete" & ",Tasks/PercentPhysicalWorkComplete" & ",Tasks/Duration" & ",Tasks/RemainingDuration" & ",Tasks/Work" & ",Tasks/Cost" & ",Tasks/IsActive" & ",Tasks/Custom_x005f_90eaefb93561e911afb900155d0c3815" & ",Tasks/Custom_x005f_1a9572776960e9119487283a4d07a952" & ",Tasks/Custom_x005f_351797c94968e911b07700155d10a106" & ",Tasks/Custom_x005f_c4f66ed64968e911b07700155d10a106" & ",Tasks/Custom_x005f_d3dfad7fa85fe911afb800155d10502b"))Notice the Tasks/Custom_x005f_xxxxxxxx. Those are enterprise custom field lookup entries associated with that task. You can pull their values from the Enterprise Lookup tables and relate them in Power BI.
For reference: project online custom fields

Hello,
The solution you mentioned is for Project Online and not for Project for the Web right? Any ways to import the custom columns in PowerBI from Project for the Web?
