    Hi yoshihirok,

     

    Power BI Desktop can be connected directly to an Azure Databricks cluster using the built-in Spark connector (Currently in preview). The connector enables the use of DirectQuery to offload processing to Databricks. For more details, please check the online document.

     

    Regards,

    Frank

Yes, You can connect Azure Databricks from Power BI Desktop by DirectQuery. You need to select Spark connector. I tried in PowerBI November 2018 Version, it's working.

 

FYI, BI Version that I used.

Version: 2.64.5285.741 64-bit (November, 2018)
