Custom Data Connectors on powerbi.com

Hi,

 

We've created a custom data connector in power BI Desktop, using the preview functionality within the blog below.

 

https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/data-connectors-developer-preview/

 

To make this really useful for us, we need to be able to access it from the web version. Does anybody know how to find out if (and when) this would be rolled out to powerbi.com?

 

I appreciate that Microsoft may not commit to dates if they are not sure - however from experience, do these features generally get rolled out to powerbi.com as well as the desktop version, and is there a usual timeframe for doing so?

 

Any advice would be appreciated!

 

Thanks

    amj198,

    You can create custom connectors in Power BI Service following the instructions in the article below. However, the custom connectors in Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service applies in different scenarios.

    There is also a video about how to create custom connectors for Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service for your reference.
