Is there any possibility that you create ODBC data source for the Big objects? You can connect to ODBC data source in Power BI Desktop.

      Due to some reasons, we couldnot get the ODBC drivers. And we are still in the phase of POC.

       

      I got somewhere in the salesforce documentation that we can query Big Objects using a subset of the SOQL (Salesforce Objects Query Language) via a REST API.

      Then using Poser BI web connector REST API query details can be abstracted.

      I am new to Power BI, can you suggest me how this can be accomplished?
