PowerBI supports pulling data from SharePoint lists but only from the default view. My business has tons of views set up. We need to use those views directly in PowerBI
Additionally this would let folks deal with too many lookup columns, or calcuated columns, which are currently choke points for Power BI from sharepoint lists. Likewise the view could be filtered to under 5k rows for access to only relevent portions of the overall list, be it based on updated in the last xx days, or restricted to one or two categories.
