Does Power BI Report Builder support Azure Blob Storage as a Datasource?

Anonymous — Mon, 20 Sep 2021 14:03:50 GMT

Hi,

I'm new to Report Builder and so far it is awesome! But I'm not able to easily find a way to pull in data from an Azure Blob Container. Is this not supported?

Thank you

Currently, you will find supported data sources at the below link

Supported data sources for Power BI paginated reports - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

I think Azure Blob Container is not supported as of now.

One option would be to build a Power BI dataset which pulls from the Azure Blob store and then refreshes on a scheduled basis. Then you could run your reports against that data set.
