Is it possible to connect to Azure Databricks from a Data Flow within the PBI Reporting Service?
- 5 years ago
Found a workaround:
Use the 'Spark other' connector.
Set 'Server' as: https://SERVER_HOSTNAME:443/HTTP_PATH where SERVER_HOSTNAME and HTTP_PATH have been replaced appropriately.
Set 'Protocol' as: HTTP.
Set 'Username' as 'token'.
Set 'Password' as your token.
A guide to getting your server hostname and http path can be found here:

Hey StupidUsername,
connect to the view from Azure Databricks inside Power BI Desktop, then copy the M script from the Advanced Editor and paste the script into the Blank query template inside the dataflow site.
Maybe this will work, if there is no dialog, doesn't mean Azure Databricks isn't supported from dataflows.
Hopefully, this will provide what you are looking for.
Regards,
Tom
