Hello community,

I’m creating a Power BI source on Ataccama One and have a few queries:

  1. Is the built-in Power BI connection allow One to retrieve a Power BI datasets? Or this is strictly for only bringing the Power BI reports to One?
  2. The imported catalog items from this connection shows “0” number of attributes and “-” number of records (screenshots below). This is also presents in the the screenshot from the Ataccama support page (link). Is this behave as intended or am I missing anything here?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @pdanpoonkij, I’ve checked with the team, and at the moment, it’s not possible to import the attributes for Power BI data sets. We have changed this for Tableau (so Tableau data sources actually display the attributes and we will be using them for lineage purposes). So it’s therefore expected behavior of the platform.

 


Thank you for your response, Cansu 😀


Has this been updated within the last year?  Can Ataccama still not import attributes for Power BI data sets?


Or is it even in Ataccama’s roadmap?


Hi ​@hope.spenik and ​@JohnY, I’ve checked with our team and while we are aware of the feedback this isn’t in the immediate roadmap. We’ll be sure to let you know if anything changes, in the meanwhile, could you please check the idea post here, and upvote the idea so that we collect more upvotes regarding this suggestion 💡If this idea doesn’t cover the feedback fully, please feel free to create a new one. 


@Cansu the Idea linked above is for APPS to be included versus including the underlying PowerBI dataset (semantic model) in the data catalog with its tables and attributes.  I’m searching Ideas for that request now.  Thanks!  


Thank you for coming back to me ​@Monicazim, if there isn’t an existing suggestion please kindly create one for us on the community so that more users can upvote the request 🙌


Thanks ​@Cansu - I created an IDEA for this ​@pdanpoonkij for potential implementation.  Please vote it up 🙂 Also if you have any workaround for now please share.  Thanks! Import attributes (tables and columns) for Power BI datasets | Community
