Azure Blob Storage to Microsoft Power BI Integration
AI-first ETL from Azure Blob Storage into Microsoft Power BI. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads Azure Blob Storage into Microsoft Power BI
Datrise syncs Azure Blob Storage's containers, blobs, blob metadata, snapshots, access tiers, and blob versions into Microsoft Power BI as star-schema-friendly tables for an Import or DirectQuery dataset. Flexible or custom fields land in flattened columns (nested fields expanded), and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as date/time columns with a date table.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses incremental-refresh windows aligned to Power BI's RangeStart/RangeEnd, so re-runs update only what changed. Date-partitioned fact tables matching incremental-refresh policies. Power BI measures and relationships live in the .pbix model, so Datrise keeps the underlying tables stable and star-schema-shaped.
Ideal for Microsoft-stack self-serve reporting.
Endpoints
Azure Blob Storage: Object storage for blobs and data lake files on Azure.
Microsoft Power BI: Microsoft business intelligence with datasets, reports, and semantic models.
How Azure Blob Storage entities map to Microsoft Power BI
| Azure Blob Storage entity | Microsoft Power BI object | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| containers | azureblobstorage_containers | id PK · custom fields → flattened columns (nested fields expanded) |
| blobs | azureblobstorage_blobs | id PK · linked to azureblobstorage_containers |
| blob metadata | azureblobstorage_blob_metadata | id PK · linked to azureblobstorage_containers |
| snapshots | azureblobstorage_snapshots | id PK · linked to azureblobstorage_containers |
FAQ
How does Datrise handle Azure Blob Storage's custom fields in Microsoft Power BI?
Flexible values are stored as flattened columns (nested fields expanded), so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native Microsoft Power BI types.
How does the Azure Blob Storage to Microsoft Power BI sync stay up to date?
It runs incrementally — Datrise uses incremental-refresh windows aligned to Power BI's RangeStart/RangeEnd.
