It would be nice to have support for all formats listed in ADF:

In th Supported file formats section.

But I'd especially like parquet format support

Thanks for all your votes! I'm pleased to say this feature's shipping in the March 2021 update. See: Parquet connector - Power Platform Release Plan | Microsoft Docs

If Power BI connects parquet files directly without converting into txt from ADLS Gen1, Gen2, that would be a great solution for many enterprise organizations.

RE: Parquet format support for direct import from Azure Blob

Is there a way to read Parquet files directly from ADLS Gen2?

Particularly Parquet and Avro are appreciated.
Another valuable options would be HDF5.

Getting asked about parquet file format more and more these days. Any update on roadmap to get this added or any work arounds?

I would like to see ORC as well!

If Power BI support for parquet and ORC formats is added, the “no-cliffs” integration with Azure SQL DW and Data Factory is smoother.

Parquet file format is a very popular in data analysis.
