Is the google bigquery connector available in power bi?


Asked by Hazel Moses on Dec 04, 2021 FAQ



The Google BigQuery connector is available in Power BI Desktop and in the Power BI service. In the Power BI service, the connector can be accessed using the Cloud-to-Cloud connection from Power BI to Google BigQuery.
Besides,
In Power BI Desktop, you can connect to a Google BigQuery database and use the underlying data just like any other data source in Power BI Desktop. To connect to a Google BigQuery database select Get Data from the Home ribbon in Power BI Desktop. Select Database from the categories on the left, and you see Google BigQuery.
Likewise, DirectQuery is the main benefit of the Power BI BigQuery connector. You can keep your data synchronized between the source (BigQuery) and the destination (Power BI). Besides, the connection works smoothly and allows you to move around data pretty fast. With the BigQuery SQL, you can test your initial queries and then load those to Power BI.
Similarly,
Multiple Data Sources: Power BI supports inbuilt connectors for more than 100 sources such as Oracle, Azure, SQL Server, BigQuery, etc. For data sources like MongoDB, you can use the ODBC connector as there is no in-built connector in Power BI.
In fact,
Power BI can consume data from various sources including RDBMS, NoSQL, Could, Services, etc. It is also easy to get data from BigQuery in Power BI. In this article, I am going to demonstrate how to connect to BigQuery to create visuals.
