BigQuery Issues

When I choose to search for a database source, BigQuery is not an option. Most of the threads I read were pointing to that as the way to pull in data. What is the easiest way to access BigQuery data inside Power BI?

Hi @mccartneyk07 ,

 

Please use the native Google BigQuery connector to connect to your source. This connector allows you to easily create reports on top of Google BigQuery databases by using DirectQuery mode.
