Can we establish a live connection between Power BI and HDFS?

[Apoorv_Lunawat]

Hey guys,

For my new project I want to establish a live connection between Power BI and HDFS.

What live connection here means is suppose I am adding some new rows in my Database table . Power BI should automatically display the visualisation considering the new rows.

I know that it didn't use to happen in the previous version. Don't really about the latest version released this march.

Hi @Apoorv_Lunawat ,

Sounds like automatic-page-refresh feature.

Pretty sure that is still not supported.
