Hi Team, From Power BI, I'm using the MySQL connector to connect to the MySQL database. However, I do not see an option to choose the data connectivity mode as DirectQuery. The connector is automatically using Import mode. When I checked the Microsoft documentation, it appears that the MySQL connector is supported only in Import mode. Could you please confirm whether this is expected behavior? Is it true that Power BI does not support DirectQuery connectivity with MySQL using the native MySQL connector? Thanks in advance!Solved185Views0likes5CommentsWays to connect Power BI with SAP Success factor

Dear Community, I hope you're doing well. I'd like to ask your perspective about pulling data from specific dataset/semantic model. Currently, I'd like to reuse the final numbers from specific semantic model. However, I realize that the method of importing data from semantic model using SSAS Connector can trigger XMLA Read Operation. The thing is, that XMLA Read Operation is the activity that kills PBI Capacity recently. Do you have any experience doing alternative way to get data automatically/seamlessly from specific semantic model without triggering XMLA Read Operation? Any advice or input is appreciated. Thank you for your support!Solved149Views0likes4CommentsExtract data from a chart on website

Hi, I currently have a list of values which dynamically change either in value or length of list. E.g. Kjn23409u Nskjnfwo123 Slmdfwo10239 I then have another query which filters an extremely large database (Over 10 million rows) based on the above list of values. SELECT * FROM X_Database WHERE ITEM_ID in (‘Kjn23409u’,’ Nskjnfwo123’,’ Slmdfwo10239’) I currently have to update the list of values in the SQL whenever the original list updates, however I would like to have this done automatically using power query. My question is it possible to place the first list of values generated from a query from an excel file into the snowflake sql query using the advance editor. E.g. Create a variable which reference another query (that is a list of value) and then place the variable in to the sql query. Current Query let Source = Value.NativeQuery(Snowflake.Databases("Warehouse","Warehouse"){[Name="Database"]}[Data], " SELECT * FROM X_Database WHERE ITEM_ID in (‘Kjn23409u’,’ Nskjnfwo123’,’ Slmdfwo10239’)” , null, [EnableFolding=true]), in #"Table" Idea Let VAR Item_id_list = query1 Source = Value.NativeQuery(Snowflake.Databases("Warehouse","Warehouse"){[Name="Database"]}[Data], " SELECT * FROM X_Database WHERE ITEM_ID in Item_id_list" null, [EnableFolding=true]), in #"Table" Thank you in advance2KViews0likes2CommentsQuery Regarding Duplicate 'Split Column' Option in Power BI
Hello Power BI Team, I hope you are doing well. I have a question regarding the Split Column feature in Power BI Power Query Editor. I noticed that the Split Column option appears in both the Home tab and the Transform tab. Could you please explain why it is available in both locations? Is there any functional difference between these two options, or do they perform the same operation? I would appreciate your clarification on this. Thank you for your time and support.

Hi All, Found this out the hard way, as the query and all child queries do not appear in the list of objects when connected to the Access Database as a source. solution is to replace the convenient NZ() function with an IIF() statement original Nz(MAP.chkCOE,"n") Replacement IIf(Trim(MAP.chkCOE) = "" or IsNull(MAP.chkCOE), "n", MAP.chkCOE) Cheers Andrew498Views1like2Comments
