Hi All
If a database contains an attachments/object/blob eg a word document/ PDF etc..
Can Power BI report on the data and also show the word document or make it available to the user in any way?
If so how?
Thank you @amitchandak , but this is not what I'm after.
Is there a way to identify or list out what is in the blob structure?
Thank you @amitchandak
But the data is in blob in a SQL database, and I want to know if I can understand what documents are there (eg DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PDF, TXT etc) and
secondly, can I trigger a hyperlink type to open the document?
@Anonymous , There is blog around how to read excel on Azure Blob, Not sure if that can help
