Clarification about status of support for refreshes in the Power BI service against ADLS Storage Gen2

Question

There is no official documentation that I could find stating that you cannot schedule refreshes against ADLS Storage Gen2 in the Power BI service. The next best thing I could find is this:

github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/issues/38862#issuecomment-533949236

Can we get an official statement? I can refresh my ADLS Gen 2 source in Power BI Desktop, but not in the service, and I've seen several people run into the same authentication issue in the service.

Answer 1

Hello,

I’m working with the product team and get back to you when I have more information.

Answer 2

Hi Olivier,

Dataset refresh support via the ADLS Gen2 connector in Power BI.com will be available next month.

We will update you once it available.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

This was indeed confirmed earlier this month with the Power BI Desktop December 2019 update, and I got it to work a few days later.
