Read Yaml Data source

Hi,

does Power BI support reading a YAML data source? And in general does it support specialized parsing criteria?

Thank you
Kind regards

Marta

Hi @PowerBI88 

 

Power BI does not inherently support reading YAML data sources. The documentation describes some of the data sources it can connect to.

 

Data sources in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

 

You can try using Power Query transformations to work with YAML files in Power BI.

 

In this way, YAML data can be analyzed and converted into a format that Power BI can handle.

 

Power Query Web connector - Power Query | Microsoft Learn
