stream analytics as streaming dataset source
Hi tgs,
There are only two options for the data source on my side, you can check the following screenshot.
Moreover, as stated in this official article, there are two ways to create a real-time streaming data feed that can be consumed and visualized by Power BI. And only API and PubNub data sources appear in the screenshot of the official article.
• Power BI REST API using a real-time streaming endpoint
• PubNub
If you want to output Real-Time Azure Stream Analytics data to a Power BI Dashboard, you can follow the steps in this article.
Thanks,
Lydia Zhang
I saw the following articles. In both I can find SA as Data Source.

Hi tgs,
As mentioned in the second blog you have posted, streaming data sets can be now either API, Azure Stream Analytics (coming soon), and PubNub. The option for Azure Stream Analytics is not released yet. We would need to wait some time to use it.
Currently, you can create a real-time dashboard for Azure Stream Analytics following the steps in this blog:http://radacad.com/stream-analytics-and-power-bi-join-forces-to-real-time-dashboard .
Thanks,
Lydia ZhangTo build onto Lydia's answer:
We are currently working on having a feature to enable ASA to output to Power BI via streaming datasets. This will in turn allow you to create streaming tiles based on ASA outputs. Later this year, we plan to have a private preview for this feature. If you're interested, please PM me, and I'll add you to our private preview list.
Thanks!
