Power BI reports from Federal Procurement Data System

[GodzillaBorland]

Has anyone connected Power Bi to date in the Federal procurement system and generated dashboards. Just curious. FPDS allows extract to Excel and SOAP as well

In this scenario, since your data system can extract data into Excel, you can directly connect the Excel file and use it as data source in Power BI Desktop.

You can also use Web.Contents() function in Power Query to get data from web, web service. See: Using The RelativePath And Query Options With Web.Contents() In Power Query And Power BI M Code

Or you can convert the SOAP into REST:

Then just "Get Data"-->"Other"-->"Web", it will parse the JSON into a table in Query Editor.
