      i am exploring PBI and i just want to know whether there are constraint on the data which PBI expecting to get.

      whether it should be tabular only, bacause as i see the 'query editor' on pbi desktop show the data in a tabular way

        MP_123 you can pull basically what ever you want into power bi, it becomes a tabular model in power bi, but what it does before power bi isn't restrictred by power bi  it just depends on how you doing things.
