    Please switch the Salesforce report connector to use the BULK API so that we can expand our result set past the 2,000 row limit.

    I should mention as well that several users on the post mentioned above decided NOT to license Power BI just on this issue ALONE.

    Several Users point out on

    (which was declined) that Salesforce does have a BULK API system that allows for retrieval of millions of rows directly from reports. So the issue lies on Microsoft not using the correct API in this case to bypass the 2000 row count limit on the light API.
