Reading file from Stoarge
Hello Team,
I tried to connect to storage and folder created in that. But I am not able to select the files to read.
When I clicked folder from Power BI. It is reading metadata of files like (creation date, access date, file extension etc)
Could you please let me know how I can select the file and read the contents in Poer BI
Thanks

Can you provide details, how are you connecting.
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.
But not allow me to choose any file or go inside any folder.
Thanks

There are several connector:
Power BI Data Lake Storage Gen1 connector
Power BI Data Lake Storage Gen2 connector
To connect to a specific file (files) only without importing the entire folder, just paste the complete file url.
