    • ETL: Apache Airflow, Luigi, Bonobo, Bubbles, petl
  • Popular Tooling Integration

    The Power BI XMLA Connector integrates seamlessly with popular data science and developer tooling like Anaconda, Visual Studio Python IDE, PyCharm, and more. Real Python,

  • Replication and Caching

    Our replication and caching commands make it easy to copy data to local and cloud data stores such as Oracle, SQL Server, Google Cloud SQL, etc. The replication commands include many features that allow for intelligent incremental updates to cached data.

  • String, Date, Numeric SQL Functions

    The Power BI XMLA Connector includes a library of 50 plus functions that can manipulate column values into the desired result. Popular examples include Regex, JSON, and XML processing functions.

  • Collaborative Query Processing

    Our Python Connector enhances the capabilities of Power BI XMLA with additional client-side processing, when needed, to enable analytic summaries of data such as SUM, AVG, MAX, MIN, etc.

  • Easily Customizable and Configurable

    The data model exposed by our Power BI XMLA Connector can easily be customized to add or remove tables/columns, change data types, etc. without requiring a new build. These customizations are supported at runtime using human-readable schema files that are easy to edit.

  • Enterprise-class Secure Connectivity

    Includes standard Enterprise-class security features such as TLS/ SSL data encryption for all client-server communications.

Connecting to Power BI XMLA with Python

CData Python Connectors leverage the Database API (DB-API) interface to make it easy to work with Power BI XMLA from a wide range of standard Python data tools. Connecting to and working with your data in Python follows a basic pattern, regardless of data source:

  • Configure the connection properties to Power BI XMLA
  • Query Power BI XMLA to retrieve or update data
  • Connect your Power BI XMLA data with Python data tools.


Connecting to Power BI XMLA in Python

To connect to your data from Python, import the extension and create a connection:

import cdata.powerbixmla as mod
conn = mod.connect("[email protected]; Password=password;")

#Create cursor and iterate over results
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM Workspaces")
 
rs = cur.fetchall()
 
for row in rs:
print(row)

Once you import the extension, you can work with all of your enterprise data using the python modules and toolkits that you already know and love, quickly building apps that help you drive business.

Visualize Power BI XMLA Data with pandas

The data-centric interfaces of the Power BI XMLA Python Connector make it easy to integrate with popular tools like pandas and SQLAlchemy to visualize data in real-time. 

engine = create_engine("powerbixmla///Password=password&User=user")

df = pandas.read_sql("SELECT * FROM Workspaces", engine)

df.plot()
plt.show()
