Thank you in advance

  • Export actions from Anaplan can move straight into Power BI, where Anaplan models may be displayed and refreshed according to a set schedule. The Anaplan Tableau connector allows the same, and is a one-way integration, from Anaplan into Tableau.

  • I a very happy to sat that Yes, it is possible to schedule exports from Anaplan to Power BI. One way to accomplish this would be to use the Anaplan API to create a script that exports the desired data from Anaplan and imports it into Power BI. The script can then be scheduled to run at a specific time using a scheduling tool such as Windows Task Scheduler or cron on Linux systems.

    Another way is to use Anaplan's built-in export functionality. Anaplan allows you to schedule exports of data to a CSV file, which can then be imported into Power BI. This option can be found on the "Actions" menu of the model you want to export.

    You can set up a schedule for the export to occur at specific intervals, such as daily, weekly, or monthly.

    Keep in mind, however, that in order to schedule exports, you will need to have the appropriate permissions and access to the relevant tools and resources. Also, depending on the size of the data you're working with, you may need to take steps to optimize performance to ensure that the export and import process runs smoothly.
