Hi Pratima,
In Power BI desktop, The File category provides the following data connections:
- Excel
- Text/CSV
- XML
- JSON
- Folder
- SharePoint Folder
It doesn't support .dat file. As I know, DAT can be a text-based, video-based, an attachment, or some other kind of files. If your .dat file is text-based, I would suggest you convert it to text file, then, connect to this text file in Power BI desktop. But the data imported to Power BI might be unreadable.
Regards,
Yuliana Gu
