Dataflows Direct Query

[tmckenzie3]

Dataflows would be really useful if you could connect to them via DirectQuery. This would mean that we could query enormous dataflows that are not practical to load to the Data model and can make aggregate dataflows that we load to the Data model. Unsure if this is possible with the architecture of a Dataflow, but it could be quite handy if it is possible.

sucks that this is not yet available

[AWassmer]

Why does it not yet exist? Would be great!

This is a very important feature to make dataflows significantly more useful.

[rudnevoleg]

Really the most important feature for 2020!

It's a Must i support this Idea

It's a must!

If a dataset can connect to datflows through live connection. It will be really helpful as we dont have to assume refresh timings and place on schedule one after other.

Good news, just checking 2020 features, it is planned to go live on april: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform-release-plan/2020wave1/business-intelligence/dataflows-directquery

Definately a must....it's a backwards step without it.

This is need to keep this platform as the preferred options among competing options. Please add this.
