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

RE: Data Catalog integration in PowerBI Designer
I've come from other tools that put metadata management at the forefront of their enterprise value proposition ( RDF, linked data, master data management)..... the fact that this issue is 4 years old with no response shows to the me that MS is more interested in sales of products than addressing the costs that it's products create through lacking data governance ! It espouses to be an enterrpise tool to unleash data..... when in fact it enforces a set of disconnected workflows which are almost ensured to create chaos in data when data is exposed to SME consumers through Power BI.
This feature combined with the ability to ingest, register, orchestrate, migrate, proppigate and administer metadata about models, schema, data transformations and apply controlled bussiness glossaries and taxonomies are the minimum for good governance. Come on MS !

Hello, is there any update on this idea?
RE: Data Catalog integration in PowerBI Designer
We need this as well. Why is there no update??
RE: Data Catalog integration in PowerBI Designer
Will this idea cover my urgent need to be able to use Azure Data Catalog to discover and connect to (objects in) sources.
I couldn't find this specific use case in the Azure Data Catalog ideas so logged a new idea:

Like other commenters I am very unhappy about the lack of integration between Azure Data Catalog and Power BI.
RE: Data Catalog integration in PowerBI Designer
Now that this idea is about to celebrate its 4th birthday, an official response is long overdue. What are the reasons for delay? Does MS have required priorities that must be met before the AZURE Data Catalog and PowerBI Desktop are allowed to talk with one another? Was painting the filter blade white truly more important? There are more than 500 very confused customers that would appreciate an explanation. Love what you're doing. Just eager to understand. Please. Thank you.

It's bizarre that this has still not been done in PBI Desktop when browsing the Data Catalog in Excel shows a dialog box dubbed "Power BI"!
RE: Data Catalog integration in PowerBI Designer
Hi there
Can you please let me know if we have a resolution on this? Currently just copy and paste from the Advance editor is the quickest option but being able to share the queries with others in the company would be more than "handy". Cheers
RE: Data Catalog integration in PowerBI Designer
Any progress?
RE: Data Catalog integration in PowerBI Designer
Any official Microsoft response to this? Is it on your Roadmap? If yes, is there an ETA? Thanks!
RE: Data Catalog integration in PowerBI Designer
I just came back to this same issue after posting an initial comment 2 years ago to find that a user friendly solution to this fundamental daftness still hasn't been implemented by Microsoft. So we're off to find another non-MS product that will deliver, which is a shame as PQ and PBI are both good products (independently of themselves!)
