Cosmos DB Native Connector in PowerBI DataFlows

[Anonymous]

I was wondering if anyone had any insight into when a native connector will be available for Cosmos DB in the PowerBI Dataflows ecosystem?   A native connector for Cosmos was released towards the end of 2019 - but we don't seem to have one that we can utilize in Dataflows.

Any ideas of where this stands?  Private/Public Preview?  Timing?

Any help and guidance on when this will be available!

Thanks!

Hi, @Anonymous 

Based on my research, It is unavailable to use a native connector for Cosmos DB in Power BI dataflow. There is no option for Cosmos DB.

The Power BI connector for Azure Cosmos DB connects to Power BI Desktop. Reports created in Power BI Desktop can be published to PowerBI.com. You can't extract Azure Cosmos DB data directly from PowerBI.com. Connecting to Azure Cosmos DB with the Power BI connector is currently supported for Azure Cosmos DB SQL API and Gremlin API accounts only.

For further information, you may refer to the following link.
