    Hi, Anonymous 

    Microsoft  has  announced Direct Query Support (in preview) for Power BI Dataflows.

    As mentioned by J0S3PH ,with this functionality in place, Power BI users no longer need to import the data into a dataset first, instead can connect directly to a dataflow.

    In order to use this capability, you should be a premium Power BI user.Enable the enhanced compute engine on your premium plan and refresh the dataflow before it can be consumed in Direct Query mode.

     

    For more details, please refer to this document.

    Thank you v-easonf-msft

    I assume any premium capacity would make this capability availible? I have this workspace as part of our A3 embed premium capacity - or is it only availible to premium-per user?
