Connecting Power BI to AWS
We have setup a gateway which has successfully connected to AWS as a datasource. It doesn't provide the option of import or direct query in Power BI Service.
This data can be viewed in the preview on the Power BI service as part of a dataflow.
However, it doesn't appear to be possible to build a dataset or report using this dataflow inside Power BI service. What is the best way to connect PBI to AWS?
I can't connect to redshift inside Power BI desktop on my laptop. I can connect to the dataflow but this appears to be using import rather than direct query which defeats the purpose of having AWS?
