Thanks everyone for your feedback – We have just released a new Amazon Redshift connector with the Power BI Desktop July Update! This connector is currently in Preview and it allows users to Import data or create a DirectQuery report based on Amazon Redshift data. In future releases, this connector will also be supported in Power BI Service and Gateway for Refresh purposes. Stay tuned! Please take a look at the Update Announcement blog (https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-july-feature-summary/) and to this documentation article for more details: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-connect-redshift/

Hi Will, We have a client that uses RedShift and this would be a key requirement for their adoption of Power BI. Thanks Giles

We too will not be able to use power BI without Redshift support.

hi Will, a major component of our analytics framework is in AWS Redshift (and it does an excellent job), without Redshift connectivity it's difficult for us to justify using the excellent tools that Power BI brings. I'm very interested in any roadmap you have around this. thanks, Rich

Many of my clients are either using Redshift or are in the process of incorporating Redshift as part of their BI solution. I definitely want to see Redshift support in this process.

We are using RedShift and have users who would like to connect Power BI to the Redshift DW, it would seal the deal for us to use Power BI if there was Redshift support/connectivity.

Yup, Redshift connectivity would have me trialling this product tomorrow

Add me to list of those definitely wanting to connect to Redshift via Power BI. I could get rid of Tableau and just use Power BI if I could do that.

[apatel2]

Yes - also using Tableau

Another yes from here too please. Redshift is our cloud DW so highly important to have Redshift connectivity
