Which ADL file formats are supported by Power BI?

‎04-14-2020 10:36 AM

Hi, 

I need to read-in files in ADL into Power BI. Which file formats are supported? csv worked but it's too slow. Are parquet and/or structured stream supported? 

Thanks!

Hi @pragya 

Parquet is not supported currently.

There are some workarounds:
