Export data to SQL server? Can data collected then be inserted into an external table?

Using Power Query, can someone take one of the resulting data tables and load it to an external system?

 

Imagine Power BI Desktop was pulling data in from several totally different data locations.  Could that resulting merged or combined data then be exported to SQL Server?

 

Basically using PBI Desktop for simple ETL?  I find that a lot of the data work I do in PBI Desktop has other useful applications if we were to dump it into SQL server or even to archive it off.

Hi @OneWithQuestion ,

I'm afraid that we cannot export data from Power BI to SQL Server currently.

We could export data from power bi to Excel actually.

Best  Regards,

Cherry
