Pulling from Data flow - Question

‎07-17-2021 11:18 AM

I'm pulling in table views from SQL into a dataflow.  I'd like to write a SQL query against the dataflow instead of using Power Query.  Is this currently possible - I can't find anything on the topic.

@RossTheBoss 
You can use the sql query in the connector when add sql datasource to a Dataflow.
