Are there any plans for Power BI Designer "better together" with PowerShell? I would be able to "Get Data -> PowerShell" where I would point designer to a PS script. Designer would execute PS script and resulting tables (one or more) would be loaded into data model.
I understand I can do it today via CSV files but that requires some additional steps (and creation of CSV files) compared to what I have in mind.

I need this very badly. This is currently the best way for me to collect GitHub data that isn't supported via the GitHub connector.

When you begin to move forward with PowerShell support, please consider the community feedback on the Trello board at:
https://sqlps.io/powerbi
Rob Sewell and others have proposed some PowerShell commands and ordered them for convenience and ease of understanding. A similar board has been working well for the primary SqlServer module.

Run PowerShell queries to return objects which can be imported into Power BI. Really useful for gathering admin information and presenting in a visual format.
