Hi @ashmozzart1,

>>This article shows how to use a file stores in a Data Lake Store in Power BI, not how to use Data Lake Analytics in Power BI.

Perhaps you can try to use web content to get data from azure data lake analytics(rest api).

Reference:

Azure Data Lake Analytics REST API

Using a REST API as a data source

Hi @v-shex-msft,

I think what @ashmozzart1 is searching for is a way to query data that is stored in the Data Lake Analytics since it is/can be actually used as a database.

It would be interesting to actually live query the tables that reside in the existing databases in ADLA.

Is this possible?

Thank you.

Yes, you can.

For detailed information, you can refer to below document:

This article shows how to use a file stores in a Data Lake Store in Power BI, not how to use Data Lake Analytics in Power BI.  For example, if I load data into a table in Data Lake Analytics then how do I use that table Power BI?

That is for using a Data Lake Store with Power BI.  The question is regarding Data Lake Analytics in Power BI which is a very different thing
