I use dax studio as a workaround, using dax query and export to a text file, i have test it with a 3 Million records and it works very well

As a bit of a workaround, the method described here: http://biinsight.com/connect-to-power-bi-desktop-model-from-excel-and-ssms/ also works to connect SSIS to Power BI Desktop.

As with others, we think PowerBI can be the silver bullet, the BI slayer, if it writes back data to SQL Server.

RE: Allow Power Query to Export Data

This is a must have function for me. Power BI is so close to being my complete data management solution but if I can't get the data back out then it's impossible!
