Hi,

Is there any scope to pick this up in 2025? We have a use case where we want to visualize time series data in PowerBI based on user selection. Since we want to pull only relevant time series data points on demand, I believe DirectQuery could help us achieve this.

@Anita Hæhre, there is still interest from SLB for this feature. The use case is the ability to query timeseries data ad hoc, so we pull information based on user select because querying all timeseries at refresh time is not feasible.

Hi, Yatish. 
 

This year we have added a brand new PowerBI connector that supports our open APIs and has a much increased performance and options. Read about the details here with link to more guides: 

 

We hope this solves your needs, and adds th flexibility you look for  

We currently do not have plans to add DirectQuery to our PowerBI connector. 

Best regards
