It would be great if Power BI could read files in AVRO format from Azure Blob Storage

This is a critical gap and need. Event Hub generates avro formatted files. We should be able to natively import/read and process those files without jumping through fire hoops.

RE: Support AVRO file format

Agree this is required, especially due to the output format of event hub capture being AVRO

Trying to report on Azure logs and audit logs for specific use cases should not be this hard!!

It is crucial to have this feature as AVRO is prevailingly used.

This is very important. Event hub persists data in a complex Avro format that is difficult to work with in tools like Data Factory. Now that Power BI supports Azure Data Lake Gen 2, this is a natural extension. We need AVRO support!

This should also include reading and saving files in Parquet in memory format for the efficient storage and retrival.

RE: Support AVRO file format

I support this. Cant understand why this is already supported when you can route iot data to a blob storage easily. But you cant open the data in Power BI for visualization. Any pogress on this?
