    Power Query needs to add client certificates as an authentication option so that Excel can use them to authenticate to PKI-protected OData endpoints.

    When PowerBI already supports 5 authentication methods for odata feeds - how hard is it for the developers to add one more? :) The powerBI team seem to thrive on healthy competition - Does anyone else know of a similar tool that does allow certificate authentication to an odata service?

    Looks like this is still an open item and it's one of the disadvantageous to use either Power Query / Power BI

    HTTPS with client cert auth would be extremely helpful
