Azure Data Catalog Integration?
Hi all,
From the Azure Data Catalog FAQ: You can think of Azure Data Catalog as an evolution of the Data Catalog. Azure Data Catalog delivers similar capabilities for data source publishing and discovery, but is focused on broader scenarios and not dependent on Office 365. Shortly after the Azure Data Catalog becomes generally available the two catalogs will merge into a single service.
Please let me know if this answers your question and gives you the information you need.
Edit: This is Matthew from the Azure Data Catalog team, so please feel free to ask questions if you have them. You can also visit the Azure Data Catalog forum ( https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/azure/en-US/home?forum=azuredatacatalog ) for questions specific to ADC.

Side question. Is Azure Data Catalog the same as the Power Query feature pictured below or is it something different?
I don't see anything in the preview to indicate it is the same. Seems like a very different offering but still lots of potential for integration.
From PowerQuery, you can access Azure Market Place to get data.

- When the two products merge, what licensing implications will it have?
Right now Data Catalog is part of Power BI license. Are you saying that Azure Data Catalog will be bundled into Power BI from the licensing perspective?We're still working on the licensing details, so please stay tuned on this front.
Any update on this!!! This post was over a year ago. I am starting to get a little heated here. . . Isn't this service something we users are licensed to have and utilize as part of the Pro Power BI experience??
Would like to see "Azure Data Catalog" in "Get Data" in Power BI Desktop.
Any updates?
great question....
I couldn't find this specific use case in the Azure Data Catalog ideas so logged a new idea:
https://feedback.azure.com/forums/906052-data-catalog/suggestions/36444655-power-bi-connector-get-data-via-azure-data-catalLike other commenters there I am amazed by the lack of integration between Azure Data Catalog and Power BI.
It's really bizarre as Azure Data Calalog emerged from the old Power BI for Office 365 data catalog, and you need to have a Power BI Pro license to use that feature in Excel!
ADC should also be supported as a data source in Power BI's dataflows.
