Connecting Power BI to Cognos

Question

I'm brand new to Power BI. I am wondering if it is possible (and if so, is it easy?) to connect PowerBI to TM1 cubes and other cubes ( Dynamic, Transformer) in Cognos. Can't find a clear answer anywhere else.

Thanks.

Answer 1

The following lists the data sources https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/power-bi-data-sources

The one of interest is the BI Connector, looks like you can buy one to connect to Cognos https://senturus.com/resources/use-power-bi-with-trusted-cognos-data/

Answer 2

While TM1 creates In Memory cubes there must be an application server serving the tm1 cube. Probably the easiest way to connect is to use the IBM Cognos API or SDK.
