publish to web and directquery - recent change?

[mbherbener]

Hi,

The documentation page for Publish to Web (https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-publish-to-web/) used to say that DirectQuery was not supported.  It doesn't say that now, but it says that "Reports using real-time data sources." are not supported.  Does this mean the same thing?  Or is DirectQuery now supported?

thanks!

@mbherbener From the test that I just did now, DirectQuery isn't supported with Publish to Web.

Ok, now (14 Feb 2017) the Publishto Web "Limitations" (https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-publish-to-web/#limitations) doesn't mention "real-time data sources" anymore.  Does this mean that DirectQuery is supported, as long as it doesn't violate any of the other limitations?

thanks

Martin

@mbherbener,

Yes, DQ would fall under "real time data sources".

HTH,
