Is there a way to handle .rar files in PBI?

Hey @Anonymous ,

 

if it's a default rar archive it should be possible.

Check the following article, it's a tutorial how to do that:

Reading Zip files in PowerQuery / M (sql10.blogspot.com)

 

If you need any help please let me know.
If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
 
Best regards
Denis
