Dear All,

 

Could I know is there a separate ETL tool for Power BI? Or how does Power BI do ETL processing?

 

Thanks for any idea~~

@soldier_rong ETL in Power BI Desktop uses Power Query Editor, which is built-in to the tool. Also, in the Service you can use dataflows, which are built using the same technology.

Hi @Greg_Deckler ,

 

Hope you are well.

 

I believe PQ is more oriented towards data handling or processing. Please let me check the dataflow first. Thanks in advance.
