We have started using hadoop servers to help manage data. At this time we were asked not to query the system with PowerBI Desktop, new system and DBAs keeping training wheels on. As a workaround I was provided a static parquet file which has been exported and I can referance.
What is the best way of getting PowerBI to use the static parquet file into PowerBI?
Sorry, I have no idea about this, You might use the TP tool for help:
