I was wondering what connector options we had to successfully integrate data from SABA into Power BI. Been looking into it for a hot minute now but can't find any useful info.
Thanks :)
May be this is stupid question.
I am using Sisense for the analytics. Back end is SQL Server. Now we are thinking to move to Power BI. When I search for Power BI I see different versions. 1) desktop power bi 2) azure power bi.
Does both are same ? I can search for tutorial on google but I want some perfect direction. I want the similar kind feature that's sisense have.
Thank you.
I was wondering if I can connect Power BI server (not desktop) directly to the database I use.
By doing this, if possible, skipping going through pbi desktop.
And one more thing, can I share the dashboard as a secure link ?
I'd like to share the dashboard directly and in a simpler way so I won't run into people not wanting to use powerbi and have more flexibility with it.
Maybe someone can answer those questions for me so I won't have to keep wondering.
Thank you in advance!
In case it wasn't clear I m new to powerbi so if these questions sound like fantasy you know why..
I have a hundreds of power bi reports. Now i want calculate the page
load time of each report daily. Please anyone can suggest a approach
to find the solution.
Write an application to enumerate over workspaces and reports, embed them and measure the time till rendered event is raised.
Have seen a few mentions on pulling Bloomberg pricing data into Power BI, with most referencing a REST API but I can't seem to find any good examples on how to implement. I have a Bloomberg license, but have been struggling on how to marry the two without pulling Bloomberg data into Excel and then referencing in Power BI. Anyone have any luck on this front?
I'd prefer to avoid the Excel route as I'd like to be able to choose dates, assets, etc in the Power BI report and then refresh dynamically rather than open Excel every time and then refresh the Power BI report.
Thanks in advance.
I'm sure there's a way to load data via R with the Rblpapi library. Might try going down this route. I don't have a license so I'm unable to test.

You'll be glad to know that Bloomberg Connector is part of Power BI April release !
There does not currently seem to be an easy way of doing this. I have been exploring using C#. I found this tutorial which provides a lot of detail on connecting to the Bloomberg API using C#, and this tutorial on pushing data into Power BI using C#. There might be a way by connecting the concepts in both tutorials. If anyone has any better ideas I would love to hear them.
