    rohampourmehr,

    According to my knowledge,  it is not possible to integrate Power BI with custom salesforce objects using SOQL.

    In your scenario, since you don’t want to connect to Salesforce report content pack which includes custom objects and fields in Power BI Service, you can create your own reports using Power BI Desktop. It's possible to connect to all Salesforce Objects, including custom objects and fields in this tool.  Once imported, you can create your own reports and upload them to a Power BI Service.

    rohampourmehr,

    The salesforce object connector in Power BI Desktop doesn't have 2000 rows limit. Using the connector in Power BI Desktop, you would need to build reports by yourself, after that, you can publish the report to Power BI Service and set schedule refresh for your dataset.

There are several approaches you can consider to integrate Salesforce Custom Objects to PowerBI. The first one is to use the OData protocol but before you need to expose your data to its format. The second commonly used approach is to load your Salesforce data to the DWH or DB (SQL Server, Redshift, etc) and then use PowerBI database connector.
