- nishalitNew MemberThanks everyone for your feedback - Google BigQuery connector was added in the Power BI Desktop August 2017 update. Please take a look at the official release announcement for more details: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-august-2017-feature-summary/ Support for refreshing reports that use this connector in Power BI Service is expected before the end of CY17. Stay tuned to the Power BI Blog for further updates on this feature.
- fbcideas_migusrNew MemberIt would make a lot of sense to have the ability to load data from Big Query into PowerBI or move it to Azure SQL DW via ADF/SSIS so this Ad data can be joined with other data points existing in BingAds or On-Prem SQL Server or DocumentDB. This approach would allow advertisers a rich analytical capability in conjunction with AzureML.

- yreceiptsNew MemberLooking at different solutions now, a lot of our data is spread across the web, some in bigquery. This is prohibitive for us.
