Does anyone know if I can connect to an Oracle Essbase Database?

 

Thank you,

I took a lot of time searching on the web and did not found any solution 😞

There is a solution that works, but you need to input your MDX query directly into the query editor script (i.e. as a parameter).  You also have to parameterize service ip address, port, user name and password, so it isn't really a "solution" but a temporary workaround.

I'm the author of the workaround you mentioned. We've now created a full-fledged, supported Power BI to Essbase connector: https://casabasesoftware.com/introducing-the-power-bi-casabase-connector-for-oracle-essbase/

 

Let us know if you're interested.

 

Thanks,

@dkay84_PowerBI - Is the query editor script the m script mentioned in the link? Are you able to acces the query editor script via create blank query? Thanks!
