Python Script in Power BI

Submitted by on ‎07-25-2017 05:51 AM
It's great that Power BI already has the capability to run R scripts for data transformation. It would be even better if we could run Python script.

I am very lucky that this feature already is in preview stage. Been testing a little bit, and i could use some of my most used python scripts with only little modification. Most of them were running fine. Good job and a big "Thank you"!

After executing the Power BI update of 16-09-2018, the whole system was crashing time after time. I have removed the latest updated version of 16-9-2018 and I have installed the old version of 1-9-2018 back again and the system was stable as before...

I recently had the opportunity to try out the new Python script as a source feature. I was impressed to see Power BI identify every DataFrame in my script and display them as a table selector. The PythonScriptWrapper to export to csv and then import is clever. The one issue I have with the feature is how Power BI handles refreshing each table from the single script. Even though the tables were originally imported together, they are no longer related after that point. Each table will execute the script when a refresh is requested. This is not only very CPU and memory intensive when parallel refresh is enabled, but it takes much longer than the original import. Can this behavior be changed in order to run the script once to refresh all of the tables generated by that script?

Keep updating the Python functionality within Python! It's super power and will only benefit Power BI's dominace!

Is it available in Power BI Desktop for Power BI Report Server on Prem? That would be nice!

It does not look like we have the ability to schedule refresh using the On-Premises gateway. Is this a feature in the pipleline? https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/35207536-python-on-scheduled-refresh

Any updates on this yet? Python has basically _saved_ my dataset, but I want to share it with co-workers. As of today, I need to refresh and publish the dataset on my local machine and share it manually every day to my co-workers. This is a hazzle.

Please add the on-premise gateway refresh for Python script data source asap. It's a huge productivity gain for report developers and data engineers.
