Power Query M Language Connection for BigQuery

Hi everyone

 

I have an issue about this connection. I need to develop a custom connector, which needs data from a BigQuery source; just the data, it doesn't need Google OAuth. For the previous reason, I'm using a GCP service account with the permissions required. Until here, all good. 

I tested the connection in Power BI Desktop with the normal "Get Data -> BigQuery", using the service account, and works fine; even I installed the ODBC Driver, I tested too with Power BI Desktop and it works too in the Get Data Section.

As you can see, both connections work propertly, retrieving the wanted data. My big problema is that I haven't been able to find how those connections works just with M Language Code; I wanted for the BigQuery and I couldn't find anything, just connections as I showed, throught Power BI Desktop, and I don't need that, I need the code in M to connect directly, using the service accont, to BigQuery.  The ODBC Driver was a test, and if the code connection works without installing the driver (I doubt, but I don't know how that works), it could be an option, but mostly I need to know how to connect to BigQuery using M Language.

 

If anyone knows the answer, please I need your help. It's probably that my research about it hasn't been as good as its required, because as far as I've searched, I found nothing related to this specific topic.

 

Thanks you in advice, regards.

Well, I assume that I've asked is something impossible to do with Power Query 😐

Hello

 

Is there someone who knows something about this topic?, I really need to figure it out how I could connect with BigQuery through Power Query M Language.

 

Thanks in advice.
