Hi,
Does anyone have any success doing Query Folding with Google Big Query? I have tried installing the SIMBA driver locally and this seems to enable it, but with the BigQuery connector that exists in Power BI it doesn't seem to be working.
Anyone have any experience with this combination?

Solved! Go to Solution.
I have used that driver, but it doesn't allow Native Query so been installing a data gateway and will be testing with Simba ODBC driver for BigQuery to see if that helps 🙂 So far that looks good!
Thanks for the reply tho.
