Community ChampionAzure Datalake Storage Gen2 DFS Endpoint: supported in Power BI Dataflow?
I'm using the following M code to connect to an ADLS Gen2 blob container where I have content created by a Power BI dataflow:
= AzureStorage.DataLake(#"https://xxxxxx.dfs.core.windows.net/")
This works in Power BI Desktop, but when I copy that code to a new dataflow, I get "Connection could not be created" after signing it via the proper organizational account. Is ADLS Gen2 storage supported in dataflows? It's not listed in the Get Data UI, but there's always been stuff that works in dataflows without UI support.
Hi otravers ,
Based on this document, the data source of Azure Datelake Storage Gen2 is not listed in the supported source list of blank query. If you want to connect the content in ADLS, you can Add a CDM folder to Power BI as a dataflow based on this document: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-dataflows-add-cdm-folder
