The Power BI Desktopis missing integration with the Data Catalog and there is no online search functionality. The data catalog is a core component of the reporting solution so let me use it with the Power BI Designer

PBI should support consuming queries from data catalog, the underlying M language source code is identical!

Hi Chuck - any updates on where the team is with this?

To use a shared query in Power BI currently, you have to open Excel, Data tab on the ribbon, Get Data, Data Catalog Search, Load a Query (likely connection only); edit the workbook query, pop out the query list, right click, copy. Then go to Power BI, edit queries, and paste. Then, repeat every time you want to use a shared query.

Any news?
RE: Data Catalog integration in PowerBI Designer
edited - actually looked up how many employees the companies had and reduced to the number that would actually utilize this feature.
Can I add 100k+ votes for my previous company, about 100k for their suppliers/customers and the same for my current company and ~50k more across my consulting clients?
Every one of these companies would vote for all of their employees to utilize this feature.
