    Hi jbrandt,

    I would like to append these tables into a single table within the data connector, but it appears that process control has already been passed back to PBI from the data connector.

    As you have mentioned above, when the user see the Navigator page which contains a list of tables returned by the Custom Data Connector, the job(get custom data) of the Custom Data Connector is finished, the process control will be passed back to PBI from the data connector. So I don't think we can perform additional data manipulations based on the results of the user selections on the Navigator. :smileyhappy:

    Thanks for the insight, much appreciated.  Perhaps some pre/post data connector jobs would be useful. 

     

    Kind regards,
