Combining streaming and historical data on one dashboard

Anonymous — Fri, 26 Nov 2021 14:15:41 GMT

Hello everyone!
I have a dataset that is created by the Azure Streaming Analytics task. And I have historical data in Azure Synapse Analytics.

I need to make a Power BI dashboard that will have streaming and historical data together.

What's the best way to do this?

For example, import all purchases until 00.00, and stream the purchases of the current day. And display 3 columns in one table - Customer, Amount of purchases, Amount of today's purchases

At the moment you cannot combine a streaming dataset with other sources. Microsoft had mentioned at Ignite that they have plans to enable that later.

Thanks for the answer @lbendlin !

In this case, what is the best way to solve the problem?
I think it is possible to enrich streaming data through reference values in the Azure Stream Analytics task.

Currently your only option is a hybrid streaming dataset with history enabled. Any "enrichment" needs to be part of the pushed rows.

@lbendlin , could you explain what is meant here. What is "hybrid streaming dataset with history enabled" and what tools can I use to do it?

Real-time streaming in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

I mean a "push" dataset.
