Power BI and SAS datasets

[rajredy7172012]

How can we open .sas7bdat files using Power BI? The solution I know is to convert to .csv files. What are the other ways? Does .xptfile work during import?

Thanks,

Rajesh.

I would recommend using Python in Power BI with the Pandas library to load a SAS dataset. I have minimal experience with Pandas and SAS, but I dont recall it being too terribly complex.

In my experience you are better off uploading your SAS data into SQL Server which Power BI works well with.
