Allow custom connectors developed for rest APIs/ODBC to be used the same way how they can be in PBI services. This would open much more opportunity for dataflow service to be used as a "data warehouse like" environment.

We are aiming to have this for Q1 of 2025.

Note that timelines might be subject to change.

RE: Support for custom connectors in Dataflow

This would be very useful but it seems that it has been removed from release-plan 2023 wave1 data integration planned features . What is the updated planned date ?

UPDATE!"We have consulted with the PG team, and they have confirmed that the plan to support custom connectors for dataflow remains intact, with the target timeline for this implementation set by the end of September."Kiran CSSfor more info please see the release wave at: 2023wave1/data-integration/planned-features#power-query-connectors

RE: Support for custom connectors in Dataflow

Any update? In the last release plan, it was scheduled for march 2023, but I haven't seen any release...

Would appreciate it, if in near time "custom connectors" at on premise gateway (Enterprise mode) will supported.

RE: Support for custom connectors in Dataflow

Any update on adding support for a PBI Dataflow to utilize PBI custom connectors to access various data sources?I am benefiting from a custom connector to access the PBI APIs for operational management of the Tenant. However, I would like to configure a dataset entity once and use it for multiple reports (use a PBI dataflow) for ease of data reangling and full flexibility. Additionally, I'm sure that I will want to use other custom connectors in the future. It seems unrealistic that PBI development will get dataflows to support all the possible data sources in the near future. The timely approach to help us all is to add dataflow support for custom connectors. Perhaps if could be done similar to how the PBI datasets go through a PBI gateway with the custom connector installed. Either way, please add this support ASAP.
