visuals for real time data feeds for streaming financial data and logistics operations.

Admittedly I`m only finishing my first course in Power B.I and loving it.

However I was interested in realtime data feeds from financial data providers, into power B.I to create visuals.

I dont think the time intelligence tools like DATEMTD , TIMEADD, can handle it.

For hour, minute, second, and even millisecond performance of streaming data (currency, stockprices. Volume).

Thinking of bar charts, and moving averages for logistics companies, realtime financial instruments monitoring.

 

I thought perhaps learning Python could overcome these limitations. As its code can run within power BI.

But not sure the architecture requirements, would it be something like DATAFLOWS (online power query) - DATAVERSE - PBIS...

 

Maybe I need to understand more that powerBI is about downloading huge amounts of data and running a transformation process via Power Query in preparation for analysis rather than realtime visualization. But just wondering about the possibility.

 

Thankyou for any feedback.
