Is it possible to run python script in a dataflow?

[thomas9921]

When I try to transfer a query that uses a Python script from PBI desktop to a dataflow I get a "path is invalid" error.

Hi @thomas9921 ,

As far as I know, currently we can only run python script in power bi desktop because it needs packages on-premiss, dataflow is created in power bi service which is a cloud service that could not support Python / R script as a data source. We can only use python visuals in power bi service.

hi @thomas9921 ,

I am not a python expert but accorsing to this, you have to use a full path and not a relative path.
