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.
