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

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

RE: Support AVRO file format

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

RE: Support AVRO file format

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!

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?
