Parquet format support for direct import from Azure Blob

[jasonyip]

It would be nice to have support for all formats listed in ADF: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/data-factory-data-movement-activities In th Supported file formats section. But I'd especially like parquet format support

If Power BI connects parquet files directly without converting into txt from ADLS Gen1, Gen2, that would be a great solution for many enterprise organizations. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/connectors/datalakestorage

This would be a game changer IMO

Thanks for all your votes! I'm pleased to say this feature's shipping in the March 2021 update. See: Parquet connector - Power Platform Release Plan | Microsoft Docs
