Parquet Connector & SAS Token
Hi,
When selecting the Parquet connector in Power BI Desktop (Version: 2.118.828.0), is there a way to specify a SAS token as the authentication method, i.e., similiar to the option available when choosing the generic 'ADLS Gen2' connector?
Regards,
George
Hi , George_K
Based on my test and research, there's "parquet" in your Power BI data source options because it can support the local parquet browse and connections, but it didn't support any cloud connection(based on SharePoint web or Azure cloud), which is the same as the "Excel", "CSV" and "Json" connector, they all support the local connection, so if you want to achieve this SAS token as the authentication method to connect to the parquet data source, I think you should still consider using the 'ADLS Gen2' connector or "Azure blob" connector which is more suitable for your requirement scenario in the perspective of product design. Thanks!

Thanks for your response. Using ADLS2 connector and the "Combine & Load" option seems to do the trick - cheers.
