Hi all

 

Is it still possible to connect Power BI to Business Objects? If so do I still need to use Power Query in Excel?

 

Thanks

@timoneill84,

There is no built-in Business Objects in Power BI Desktop, an idea about this issue has been submitted in this link, please vote it up.

In your scenario, you can create an ODBC data source for Business Objects, then connect to  this ODBC data source in Power BI Desktop.

Regards,
Lydia
