Power BI XMLA Drivers & Connectors
for Data Integration

The Power BI XMLA driver acts like a bridge that facilitates communication between various applications and Power BI XMLA, allowing the application to read data as if it were a relational database. The Power BI XMLA driver abstracts the complexities of Power BI XMLA APIs, authentication methods, and data types, making it simple for any application to connect to Power BI XMLA data in real-time via standard SQL queries.

Working with a Power BI XMLA Driver is different than connecting with Power BI XMLA through other means. Power BI XMLA API integrations require technical experience from a software developer or IT resources. Additionally, due to the constant evolution of APIs and services, once you build your integration you have to constantly maintain Power BI XMLA integration code moving forward.

By comparison, our Power BI XMLA Drivers offer codeless access to live Power BI XMLA data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live Power BI XMLA data from any client application. Because our drivers conform to standard data interfaces like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET etc. they offer a consistent, maintenance-free interface to Power BI XMLA data. We manage all of the complexities of Power BI XMLA integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.

If you need truly zero-maintenance integration, check out connectivity to Power BI XMLA via CData Connect Cloud. With Connect Cloud you can configure all of your data connectivity in one place and connect to Power BI XMLA from any of the available Cloud Drivers and Client Applications. Connectivity to Power BI XMLA is managed in the cloud, and you never have to worry about installing new drivers when Power BI XMLA is updated.

Many organizations draw attention to their library of connectors. After all, data connectivity is a core capability needed for applications to maximize their business value. However, it is essential to understand exactly what you are getting when evaluating connectivity. Some vendors are happy to offer connectors that implement basic proof-of-concept level connectivity. These connectors may highlight the possibilities of working with Power BI XMLA, but often only provide a fraction of capability. Finding real value from these connectors usually requires additional IT or development resources.

Unlike these POC-quality connectors, every CData Power BI XMLA driver offers full-featured Power BI XMLA data connectivity. The CData Power BI XMLA drivers support extensive Power BI XMLA integration, providing access to all of the Power BI XMLA data and meta-data needed by enterprise integration or analytics projects. Each driver contains a powerful embedded SQL engine that offers applications easy and high-performance access to all Power BI XMLA data. In addition, our drivers offer robust authentication and security capabilities, allowing users to connect securely across a wide range of enterprise configurations. Compare drivers and connectors to read more about some of the benefits of CData's driver connectivity.

With our drivers and connectors, every data source is essentially SQL-based. The CData Power BI XMLA driver contains a full SQL-92 compliant engine that translates standard SQL queries into Power BI XMLA API calls dynamically. Queries are parsed and optimized for each data source, pushing down as much of the request to Power BI XMLA as possible. Any logic that can not be pushed to Power BI XMLA is handled transparently client-side by the driver/connector engine. Ultimately, this means that Power BI XMLA looks and acts exactly like a database to any client application or tool. Users can integrate live Power BI XMLA connectivity with ANY software solution that can talk to a standard database.

Using the CData Power BI XMLA drivers and connectors, Power BI XMLA can be easily integrated with almost any application. Any software or technology that can integrate with a database or connect with standards-based drivers like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, etc., can use our drivers for live Power BI XMLA data connectivity.

Additionally, since Power BI XMLA supported by CData Connect Cloud, we enable all kinds of new Power BI XMLA cloud integrations.

Power BI XMLA Analytics and Power BI XMLA Cloud BI integration is universally supported for BI and data science. In addition, CData provides native client connectors for popular analytics applications like Power BI, Tableau, and Excel that simplify Power BI XMLA data integration. Additionally, native Python connectors are widely available for data science and data engineering projects that integrate seamlessly with popular tools like Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Dash, and Petl.

Power BI XMLA data integration is typically enabled with CData Sync, a robust any-to-any data pipeline solution that is easy to set up, runs everywhere, and offers comprehensive enterprise-class features for data engineering. CData Sync makes it easy to replicate Power BI XMLA data any database or data warehouse, and maintain parity between systems with automated incremental Power BI XMLA replication. In addition, our Power BI XMLA drivers and connectors can be easily embedded into a wide range of data integration tools to augment existing solutions.

Absolutely. The best way to integrate Power BI XMLA with Excel is by using the CData Connect Cloud Excel Add-In. The Power BI XMLA Excel Add-In provides easy Power BI XMLA integration directly from Microsoft Excel Desktop, Mac, or Web (Excel 365). Simply configure your connection to Power BI XMLA from the easy-to-use cloud interface, and access Power BI XMLA just like you would another native Excel data source.
