Hello,

 

From Poer BI desktop I choose Azure services-> Storage Account

From storage account I choose the container

Once I clicked on container it shows me all metadata for container of files and folder inside.

Hi satyajittarai 

There are several connector:

Power BI Data Lake Storage Gen1 connector

Power BI Data Lake Storage Gen2 connector

Azure blob storage connector

To connect to a specific file (files) only without importing the entire folder, just paste the complete file url.
