Connecting Power BI to SAS Question

Power BI Software & Tools
1

Hi All

Been struggling with the approach to take in connecting Power BI to SAS.

I need to try and pull data directly from SAS to power visualizations and table summaries in Power BI.

A number of persons seems to favor the OLE DB approach - Others the R script approach (Unfortunately I cannot install R in the environment which requires this SAS to Power BI solution)

Any suggestions from possibly persons who have worked with SAS to Power BI

Most appreciated if possible and kind regards

Leon

Hi
This is a connection question, therefore there is no relevant masked demo pbix file, data files, screenshots or visualization items supplied.
